Original Song Project: Morgan Young -- Buzz, Buzz, Buzz


So there I was at a lovely little Christmas party as our hostess spoke humorously about her friend in NY who had received nothing but sex toys from Santa. The subject of our story was apparently quite abuzz at the thought of her cache. My thoughts quickly turned, as most young men's naturally do in this situation, to...Cormac McCarthy. Specifically to a throw away line he has in his book No Country For Old Men in which Lewellyn Moss returns home to his broken down trailer and his lonely wife. The wife starts peppering Llewelyn with questions as to his whereabouts and Llewelyn's off-the-cuff retort (and the general scene in the trailer) fill out the rest of the musical image.

So, with those dual images of sad little trailers in west Texas and Santa bringing a bag of sex toys rattling around my head, I quickly wrote and recorded this little rockabilly song and called it Buzz, Buzz, Buzz. The instruments are a Gibson SJ200 acoustic, Gibson EB2D bass, and a Fender Telecaster equipped with a Bigsby.

I hope you enjoy.
