In 2018 Dave (warfydave) Cooper sent me recording he had made, inviting me to contribute lyrics, vocals and steel guitar.   Immediately on hearing the recording, the words to Lewis Carroll's “The Lobster Quadrille” (sometimes called “The Mock Turtle's Song) started running through my head.
	We recorded the track and Dave posted it on his SC website (https://soundcloud.com/warfydave).   The song is still there at https://soundcloud.com/warfydave/lobster-quadrille-mix-4.
	The track I have posted here uses all the original stems except for the steel guitar (which I felt obliged to redo).   It has been re-mixed and re-mastered.
	There are many versions of this song on SC, the only ones I strongly remember are by Bruce Klepper (at https://soundcloud.com/bruce-klepper-1/the-mock-turtles-songfeat-mark-ewart), and Steely Dan (at https://soundcloud.com/steely-dan-official/the-mock-turtle-song), but I am sure they are all worth a good listen.

	The Lobster Quadrille appears in “Alice in Wonderland”.   It is sung by the Mock Turtle while he and the Gryphon attempt to demonstrate the dance to Alice.   John Tenniel's famous illustration (the cover art I have used) pictures both the Mock Turle and the Gryphon.

In August 2019 I posted a track made with Adelmo Silva in  the EDM genre.   Adelmo did the mix.   This is a remix of the same track with emphasis on the rock side.   Except for the guitars and some of the percussion I have used the same stems we put down in the original mix (and have shortened the song somewhat).
	Adelmo has disappeared from SC (as he does sometimes) so I cannot give his SC address, but the original track is still at https://soundcloud.com/kcm069/adelmo-ken-minty-let-your-hair-down.
	Hope I have not made too much of a mess of it


Lyrics:
	if the wine you drink and the lips you kiss
	end in tears, not in bliss
	just let your hair down, let your hair down

	whether seen from above, or seen from below
	it's just a scene from a puppet show
	so let your hair down,  just let your hair down
	
	let your hair down, run through the jungle
