 Charlie’s Grandma Bowen had a thing about mockingbirds. 

 When he was just a little boy he remembers her winking at him and saying, “Now, Eddie, be careful what you say around mockingbirds. Those darn birds? They’ll tell your secrets every time.” 

 
That notion came back to him recently when he started writing this song.

 Our guitarist Danny Cox paints pictures with his sound. 

 
He has a positively uncanny capacity for discovering ways to bring out the colors and textures in all kinds of melodies and to plant stories in the minds of everyone who hears. 

Just listen to his treatment of this rich old Sonny Burke composition, finding all kinds of new magic and nuance in this poignant melody. Here — have some “Black Coffee”!
