Mr Puzzle by Paul Perreault

This is possibly the first song I ever heard Paul’s band, Planet Sandwich, play – and it got my attention. I was really impressed. I love Mr Puzzle!

The night we (almost) met

One night while walking down the street with a girlfriend (who is also a musician), we heard this amazing rhythm bouncing along the buildings. The beat was steady, a little kooky, definitely (a)live. We had to find out who was playing!

We turned the corner, and there was Paul and his band Planet Sandwich playing in front of the Pay-n-Take bar on an unhitched trailer/stage.

We didn’t know Paul — but we had seen him in town over the years playing a big blue stand up bass for bluegrass and folk bands. But that night, Paul was the frontman, rocking out on a Les Paul, singing and leading this amazing, rhythmic rock band! I just stood there and grinned (and he grinned back)!

Paul and I didn’t talk that night, but it didn’t take long for us to meet . . . A week later, I found myself sharing a stage with him – singing an Irish tune!

The rest is history.

Music is life!

I gave up music for fourteen years, after a lifetime of performing. That is another long story I may get to someday. Those fourteen years were dark times. Music let the light back in – and I will not turn my back on it again.

Today – it was a lot of fun to arrange Mr Puzzle acoustically. I’m so glad Paul taught me this song.

Thanks Rockin’ Johnny Slavin for the Mr Puzzle song request!
