i have been playing guitar since i could pick one up...been in bands from south florida to north carolina and DC and even more places hither and yon, then i decided to do some recording of material i had written and recorded my first Cd "if the shoe fits" of course i ended up working with the same musicians i played with over the years...(go figure)... i enjoy all types of music, whatever the genre...i pay close attention to lyrics...(please if you play any of my material also click on the lyrics/story tab...it's important to me that the lyrics be read) although i tossed a few quickies out like 'i musta' been drinkin' and 'stuck in mississippi' which aren't the greatest lyrics in town check out: 'if the shoe fit's', 'carolsong', 'cassidy'... to me the music may be the soul but the lyrics are the heart...you can't have one without the other...artists should not just push buttons... if you want to be considered a musician learn how to play an instrument with soul...if you want to be considered a lyricist, write from your heart... then you can create heart and soul whenever you need to...and with that push all the buttons you want... =z=

Story behind the song
i musta been drinkin’ started as just a bass line…i had in the back of my mind what the song should sound like but had no real clue in direction…the final mix is a testament to my brothers tom and jim henry who had a big hand in taking the song in the direction it went…the lyrics are horrible because i wrote them on the spot just to have something to sing...(i did like the line about mike tyson though)...jim does some awesome drum work on this song and tom holds everything down with his bass line which was all done on a Yamaha dx7…the guitars are: (if you listen w/ headphones you can hear the martin d-35 strumming)..a 1972 martin d-35 and a modified 90’s fender strat ran only through a cry-baby wah-wah pedal into a laney 100 watt amp…we put that bitch out into the sound room, i made a couple of adjustments, and turned it all the way up...we all looked at each other and jim said "let's get the hell out of here" we hauled-ass into the booth panting all the way...i then sat down next to tom and his new super doppler 800 million thousand mixing console...with the phones on, strat itchin' and cry baby ready…the solo is take number two…man, that strat, cry baby, and laney do sound, as far as i am concerned… magical... -z- i musta been drinkin’: recorded, mixed & mastered @ tag productions; coral springs, fl. 32 track alesis adats & cakewalk software… produced by shaun=z=hull... engineered by timely-tom henry, -jammin-jim-jive henry, &-shaun=z=hull who art thou: shaun=z=hull: vocals, guitars timely-tom-henry: dx7-bass jammin-jim-jive-henry: 20,000 piece yamaha drum set.

Lyrics
i musta been drinkin’ 4…3…2…1… well i tasted the wrong blend of the spices of life they bit me in my ass so now i think twice thought i was walking up there on a number nine cloud guess that’s what I get people for hangin’ with the crowd well i didn’t want to go there but I went anyway struttin’ my stuff down the street like a monkey out of his cage i thought in life that all i had to do was play and now i’m singing the blues and this is all i got to say (tell me ‘bout it) oh no, i didn’t know what i was thinkin’ ah yea, i musta been drinkin (get funky) -guitar- well you don’t have to listen to me people you can hit the street and roam and before you know it my friend you’ll be doing it all alone i can’t tell ya what to do i wouldn’t go there anyway i’m tellin’ you what i know i’m not tellin’ you how to play so sit back and listen and turn it way up loud crank it up there baby and blast it to the crowd and if somebody sits back and tells ya turn it down get-em in the ring like tyson and chew ‘em a couple rounds! oh yea, i know what your thinkin oh no, this guy must be drinkin’ oh yea, well now it’s time for me to fly oh and all i can say is just goodbye goodbye….
