New Song. This one started by thinking about how a couple of regular guys might think that I spend money in frivolous ways. So the first two verses are actually making fun of me. The third verse about how wealthy people spend money on their pets is true (this stuff actually happens), but is not about me. Anyway, hope it brings you a chuckle or two.

That was fantastic Jay!
Groovy tune, great lyrics, great singing, and cool little solos. The complete package. Really enjoyed it.
And on top of that a professional production.
Bravo to you mate!
Cheers,
Shane

Thank you. Mari and Shane. Had to work very hard to get the timing right on the lead guitar. Made me appreciate people who play in bands.

The story / lyrics were very interesting and made me want to stay till the end to hear it all. The rest fits it nicely too. Very nice voice as well.
Anyway, it’s brave that you can sing about your experiences. Maybe that’s what makes it so good? Because it feels authentic.
Btw, I had no idea that fishing hobby could be so expensive.

Yeah, Kamkor. Ten thousand on fishing is admittedly ridiculous. A fishing kayak with electric motor, fish finder and trailer to pull it will get you there.
Another delightful production, Jay. You have the whole nine yards down … composition, arrangement, performance, mix, and production.
You have the singer-songwriter ability to hone in on a topic and write lyrics that tell the story.
Now you reflected on the fishing, photography GAS but never mentioned musical GAS. I guess the majority may have dropped more dough on our hobby than others looking in might consider sensible

That was terrific Jay. You really do write, sing and play great story/social comment songs.
I’ve been racking my brains to think who you remind me of. I think it’s Jim Croce or maybe Harry Chapin.
I loved the lyric and the guitar play especially the electric lead parts. Great production too with the multi guitar shots and lyrics. Well done!
As for hobby GAS, we’re only here once!

Hi Jay,
You have become my favourite original singer-songwriter in the community at the moment
Heartfelt observational lyrics without slipping into sentimentalism/cliché; competently performed to appropriate tunes.
Way to go and good old fashioned vibes for this.
There’s nothing wrong with being in a privileged position and enjoying fruits of your labours, as long as we’re aware of and helpful to those less fortunate.
I definitely picked up a Cat’s in the Cradle vibe from this one too, both in style and mood

Terrific tune, nice hook in the chorus - had me entertained the whole way through! Well produced too, good job!
I fly fish and yes, one of my waders has an insert that fills with air from a small CO2 cartridge in case of emergency. I rarely need that, though.
Also thought you would add a verse on spending $$$ on guitar gear

Great song Jay. Loved how you had all three parts with video, was like watching a band play but it was all you!
I think there are plenty of us that spend more than we should on our hobbies… we all only need one guitar, right?
