https://vimeo.com/888933182 In 1991, Billy wrote the song “Little Puggy” outside the recording studio on a small piece of paper on the steering wheel of his car in 5 minutes. He was set up to record instruments on another song that morning, when he informed the engineer Rudy Sanchez and his manager Gerry Georgettis that he was recording a “new song” written just 5-minutes ago in the parking lot. In 1 take, he played mandolin, piano, and sang. The song was finished in 20 minutes.

The song was featured in a story written by Greg Baker for Miami New Times where he stated, “Write a song as compelling, evocative, personal, and beautiful as Yeager’s “Little Puggy.” Then we’ll talk.

That Yeager wrote the song — just one of eight beauties on his latest tape — in about five minutes while driving to the recording studio is beside the point. That the mandolin gracing it sometimes hums a bit out of tune is the point. It’s intentional. It’s alternative. It’s genius at work.”
