Client John Papa Gros on his song "This New Year's Eve": The song "This New Year's Eve" started autobiographical and then took a hard turn. The basic premise of that song is that, when Papa Grows Funk broke up, a couple of minutes later I realized I wasn't going to have a New Year's Eve gig. I would finally get a New Year's Eve to spend with my wife and have a ball. Well, my wife's an ER nurse and she works the night shift. That year the way the schedule worked out she had to either work Christmas Eve or New Year's Eve. She didn't want to work Christmas Eve so she worked New Year's Eve. And I thought, there goes the one chance we have to spend New Year's Eve together. So I got bummed out. I started thinking about it and I wrote the first lines to that song "Me and my bottle on this New Year's Eve". I was going to have to celebrate by myself. And that didn't seem too appealing.
