This tune- "Tequila Under the Bridge" by, the Massacoustics. I was proud to have inspired the entire song with Matt and Andy Thompson. They ended up going crazy on this tune (crazy in a good way) getting Buffett Coral Reefers- Peter Mayer, Jim Mayer, Mac MacAnally, Robert Grenidge and Mike Utley to be on the recording of this tune and the video. The tune was a birthday gift to friend and fellow troubadour- Scott Kirby. I'm proud of my writing credit on this tune, the Thompson's are world-class!
