Hi All, Hope it's ok to post here.
Always been a fan of Bill's work, but for some reason, Axe Victim always struck a chord with me (if you will excuse the pun).
Anyway, always wanted to do my own version and finally got round to it now I have more time on my hands.
First off, I'm no Bill Nelson, there is only one after all, but I hope I have done my best.
All instrumentation, singing, drum programming and recording by me.
Give it a go and please be kind 😂

When the verse gets to "…lend an ear" and "…pretty skin", I think the bass plays a D under the C chord. Otherwise you've done a brilliant job.
This is great. I really enjoyed hearing this, Ted.
Considering the niche and provincialism of Be Bop, one of the key things that will keep their work alive is enthusiastic musicians tacking the song catalog.
So, everyone interested in Bill and BBD should be grateful.
Good licks, and good luck!
Ted, based on this and your original "All The Way," I'd say that you are using your extra time very productively. Looks like you have some nice instruments in the studio as well. Thanks for the music and go have more fun, please. John
