Aunt Florence Annie

Brazil

This is a Song on my 2010 CD "The Girl" But Recorded in 2002 -2004. It Goes back to 1997 or 98, I co-Wrote it with a Girl I met - Ms. Mona Kagnes - while playing an Overnight Cruise Ship In Sweden that went between Stockholm & Talinn Estonia. Mona Stayed in Touch & send me 2 Million of her Poetry writings & I managed to write 2 songs, this one & the Still unrecorded "Empty". Hope to get that song done one of these days.  Rarwriter.com Wrote in Jan 2013:                                                                                      "But Then he is Mercurial. One of The Strongest Tracks On Gravy isn't Even Sung By him, but By Ms. Carole Hawkins, and it sounds like a song that should be remembered in film and tv soundtracks. The Girl Co Written By Butler & Mona Kagnes Is Just Brilliant" !!!         
  
Hence Why I'm Posting it here in 2014, and plus I've Just got Mona a few copies over there in Norway, so it's Fresh on my Mind !!!

The Girl

This song is not Recorded yet. Matter of fact what you hear is me writing it. August 2014 away & up in Waterloo New York I do a lot of writing. I grab an old sheet of lyrics and one night &  pieced it together with a piece of Music that was sitting around…Or maybe I had thought about putting them together a year or so, but either way it sat around until that night. The Next Morning I did this demo in the Backyard.
I liked this demo so much, the putting the words to the Music at that very moment, that I decided to Post this Demo until I one day find the time to record it right.
