Grand Hotel and Beat Up Truck (Chris Davis) Kingfisher Restaurant: May 21, 2022


I wrote Grand Hotel sometime around 1989, as part of a song cycle.  It's a downer, but I still like it and a pretty girl requested it.  Beat Up Truck came a few years later and was actually composed the the rhythm of a hotdog vendor cart delivery truck's ailing motor.  It sometimes aspires to a Spanish rhythm.

Two of my originals, with some wonderful jammers I met on the stage.  Second time playing for a crowd since a heart attack and then covid... felt great.  Aqy's little community sparkles.

I also highly recommend  Kingfisher Seafood Restaurant.  A wonderful experience.  The fish and chips and the lemony cheesecake were superb.  I'm giving them a free link in the sidebar to thank them for providing such a wonderful venue, and dealing with temperamental musicians all night.  Good people, good food.

Smiley's Back - Chris Davis


Chris Davis original from the late '80s.  Might have been influenced by Guy Smiley in my youth.
