Roxy

Roxie was my grandma’s name. “Doxy” is the name of the Sonny Rollins tune that taught me the chord progression used here. It’s the same progression used in “Walk Right In,” “Keep on Truckin’,” and “Alice’s Restaurant.” Todd Snider used it for “The Ballad of the Devil’s Backbone Tavern;” I reckon I can take writing credit for this piece.
