• TGIF - It's the weekend. This is a Friday

night special. I just got paid and I'm goin'

out tonight. I want to be with you baby at

our favorite club. I got a hot spot for us

to dance, to laugh, to celebrate. The

swinging song is filled with anticipation,

excitement, and optimism for the end of

a hard work week and the beginning of a

new weekend with my girl. This sequel to

Misty Morning Misty Night sings of real

feelings, happiness that he's got his girl

back and reflects how we feel at the end

of a tough work week - ready to party

with his girl, his world! All vocals are sung

by Herman Jones. The band's music is

funky, rockin', groovin' and upbeat. The

music brings back the great sounds of the

60s and 70s R&B.

• Based on a true event in the artist's life,

Misty Morning Misty Night, is a smooth

romantic, heart felt ballad about life,

getting back the one you love and

devotion. The ballad is a melodic, subtle,

dreamy song reflecting the pain of lost

love, the beauty of renewed

commitment, and on-going devotion. It

sings of real feelings that many of us have

experienced deep at one time and

reaches deep into our soul. All vocals are

sung by Herman Jones. Listen closely for

the smooth, melodic sounds of the

instruments capturing the deep emotion

and tenderness of the moment. Listen as

the song reflects the essence of the

heart. The band's music is traditionally

very funky, rockin', groovin' and upbeat.

This song shows the softer, sweet side of

Herman Jones. The music brings back the

great sounds of the 60s and 70s R&B.
