Recipe from Taste Of The South Magazine

Here’s a new short song that is freaking awesome. First song I’ve heard with a Breaking Bad reference.

And a sweet, if not offbeat, tune.

“Happy days are here once again
He can play connect 4 with his kids again
Sometimes they cheat
Sometimes he cheats
But most important is quality time”

Check out Free Swim on Facebook and Bandcamp, where you can buy the music.

Cheers!
