• 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.
