Paul Gilbert - Every Action Done in Company
WROC is my first vocal album since 2016. The lyrics were inspired by the etiquette book, "George Washington's Rules of Civility and Decent Behavior." I truly enjoyed turning Washington's Rules of Civility (WROC) into ROCK songs! I hope my vocal and guitar melodies will stir your heart and improve your table manners. Spit Not in the Fire!
"Every Action Done in Company" - Written and Produced by Paul Gilbert
Lyrics inspired by Washington Rules: 1 and 65
The very first Washington rule forms the core of this song. It is a rule that feels very right and comfortable to me. So do Nick's drum fills! The song gets a bit more intense in the bridge as I scream "Scoff at none!" - taken from rule 65. I hope this rule will make me think twice the next time I feel the urge to scoff.
Paul Gilbert: Vocals and Guitar
Doug Rappoport: Guitar
Timmer Blakely: Bass
Nick D'Virgilio: Drums
Everyone sang the harmonies
