love that ending too...quite a journey in a short space of time!

Just spotted on a playlist and realised I hadn't heard this one, so I'm putting this right. Lovely background and lead vocals, super flute and a thrilling arrangement altogether. Thanks as always Mark

Great soundscape! Very heady 1960s stuff. Love the Robert Plant-like vocalization at the end

Hey, really do hope you’re doing OK out there in the world as there is almost nothing funny about life now. Except maybe everything in my life. A dystopian comedy, as I try in jest to keep the plants from drying up and dying, and end up parched myself. Like today, for a moment there I found myself unconsciously heading for some shade, as stepping into the sun was intense. Now I know how Drăculea felt. Well maybe not. Although growing up we would always head to this strange woman’s house on Halloween night, to get a cup of ‘cat’s blood’. The old woman was dressed as a witch, and had a punchbowl filled with her concoction on the dining room table. Later that night, my mom freaked out when I told her I drank some cat’s blood at some old woman’s house. After a few frantic phone calls, she found out it was a blend of Hawaiian Punch (red) and cherry juice. My mom later befriended that old woman, who had a lifetime of performing in the theater. Anyway, so there I was standing in the shade and the idea for this song came to me. Why not try some recorder harmonies using 2 recorders? In all truth, about the only thing I know about the recorder is that finger placement over the holes is vital to avoid the tragedy of sounding like a frantic goose running away from the butcher. As is having calm breath, or wind, if you will. (Woodwind) So keeping it simple, I used one recorder for a single sustained note, and the other recorder for soloing. Eventually I would like to be able to create harmonized melodies using both recorders… ha. We’ll see about that. Lyrically, not much to say… but I am working on a harmonized backing vocal in a slightly higher vocal register. I also added some mandolin shmozz at the end of grins. OK, enough of that. Hope you enjoy the song, Mark

Hey. I am a late bloomer musically. Initially I started on acoustic guitar, then within the last 4 years: Banjo, slide guitar, dobro, recorder, harmonica and singing.  Most of my songs are rough, unpolished, unpracticed, recordings made on an old laptop. Thank you for the love and support, the insights and ideas, the camaraderie and fellowship, Lammbone
