Thanks for Visiting
The new website is taking shape, I've finally got a new song posted (a real plus for any musician's website, I tell you!). While you wait for more songs and features on the site, you can go to facebook and become a fan of Jim Briggs on Facebook to get updates and announcments about future gigs. Also, please check the website of The Nerve to see where you might find me next!
And though it's not necessarily the song for which I hope to be remembered, I have to acknowledge that the Moose In The House Blues has so far driven more traffic to this site than any other keyword.
Moose in the House Blues
Moose in the House Blues received critical acclaim recently at Hillside Elementary School.
If you've ever had even one moose in your house, I'm sure you will agree, no musical style would capture the mood better than a good old-fashioned 12-bar blues.
This particular song is one that my five-year-old daughter and I have been improvising for a while. "There's a Moose in the House", you see, is her favorite game of all time. She asked me to "put it on the iPod", so I headed to the basement to record it. Well, as soon as I heard it played back, I thought, "this needs a bass line". That done, I thought "this needs a solo." And then I thought, "this needs a moose".
Anyway, what should have taken about twenty minutes stretched into a couple of nights. Eventually I had to cut myself off and just put it out there. I wouldn't exactly say it's the song I want to be remembered for, but if you've ever had a moose in your house, hopefully it will bring you some comfort.
