Chokin' 99 - Dennis Crabapple McClain

This is for all my friends and family back home. I thought I'd keep you up to date on the songs I have been writing since we left the States. I just recorded this (July 2007) in the Philippines, though I wrote it last year, so some of you may have heard it already. This song was mostly written in the Philippines, so I thought it would be nice to record it in the same place where I wrote it.

That's my cheap handmade Korean guitar.

Oh, and I shot this shortly before we were robbed... look how damn happy I was before the robbery... all smiles... HA!!!

[mccrabapple]

Wish I could, but my set-list is pretty limited. Try me anyway!

Excellent song and performance well done.

Thanks a lot. I'm finally getting around to recording the songs I've written in Korea and the philippines, the session tonight went really well.

Cool song, great performance as always.. Love what you do at 1:38/near the end too, catches my ear.

Have you played Rocky Racoon? That would sound awesome with your voice, seriously consider It Id love to hear that; as for the robbery, well I myself was mugged at knifepoint recently and I too had a friend who 'took care of a few things..' I hope you get your sweet justice friend

hm..well i am a huge Wings and Jimmy McCulloch fan (if you can't tell by the name) and I was wondering if you could cover Wino Junko since it's never been covered before?

yes, lots of good people in the Philippines! After I was robbed I was told my "friend" was trying to find the thieves. I didn't know who this "friend" was. It turned out to be the old man on the beach that sold beaded necklaces. He always listenned to me play and sing, and he always smiled and applauded. He was well-known among the vendors, so he went into town immediately and got word out to look for my stuff and the thieves. I was very touched.
