This is one of the earliest Wannamaker Band original tunes. The song title applies well to all the crazy sh@##$# that goes on behind the scenes with this band. To play and survive in this band you have to be more than just a little crazy.
Simple Man This tune is quickly becoming one of the band's favourites. Singer Pat Mete's amazing tone and vocals shine. Davey Boy Crawford nails the solos and resisted the urge to play over Mete's vocals.
This live performance of Comin' Down was recorded by some friendly guy named Ed (see his pic below video) at the Camp Inn Trailer Park in Duck Lake, Ontario. The fire was roaring, the beers were flowing, and a good time was had by all.
The song has a couple of meanings, so pick the one that suits you best and enjoy. I'm comin' down, meet me in the morning, I'm coming down....

The Edmonton Song
Live from Duck Lake
Thanksgiving Weekend 2008
This bluesy tune tells the story of a friend of the band who packed up his worldly belonging and drove out to Edmonton, Alberta to make his way and seek his fortune. He drove off with his "poochie" sitting in the front seat! It's about as Canadian a song as you can get.
This tune always gets the ladies up dancing and the toes tapping.

At the Wannamaker barbecue we tried to get a few candid comments from the band.
Unfortunately, once we cut out all the swearing we had few usable clips! Do all "musicians" swear this much?
Apologies to younger fans, you might not want to listen to some of this.
