This second solo effort by Dale Thompson is much different from his first. He combined the talents of the region's most talented musicians to assist him this time. This recording, like his first, is a concept that shows one man's struggle through life. Many of the stories that are incorporated are from Dale's past. Using real horns, keyboards, and many other unusual instruments, Dale produced a very believable blues recording. This record is available in stores and was originally distributed by Rugged Records.

Lyrics:

Looking classy in his zoot suit

Passing counterfeit bills and paste

Backside numb in a water melon truck

Couldn't wipe that smile

off of his face

He was as thin as a dollar bill

Like a muckraker slinging mud on capital hill

didn't want to die in anyone else's war

A gum ball kid with a Bombay taxi horn

Eyes that look into the here after

Heads tilted back and noses pinched

There's only two ways to come out from the front

on a stretcher

or stiff in a flag draped trunk

He was a fugitive long shore sailor

Drifting with a bald headed friend

Taking the jitney down Broadway

Trying to hide the whiskers on his chin
