Cyclone Blues created by Gary Crockett. In Darwin 5 of us (some who were in other bands) would throw together a band called The Darwin Party Boys when a venue needed a last minute band. We never had a practice but we had songs in common. This was a 12 bar blues ad lib song that I and Nev Wilson made up the lyrics on stage ad lib. Unfortunately the AI service I use limits the amount of lyrics so I was unable to reproduce the song as it was live. I had to edit down the lyrics. The AI service is about to release a new version so hopefully I can revisit this and recreate the original version of the song.
