First Tracks - a strat story

https://soundcloud.com/bats-brew/first-tracks
 
 
this song is my paean to alpine skiing. 

and, it's the first song i recorded with a newly minted custom strat:

double meaning. 

I loved the tempo change.  It's almost like the first tempo is the ride up on the ski-lift, and then with the second tempo  you're  goin down the mountain (after the proverbial bong hit).  :D:D

Lost my whole post! Aaargghhh.  I listen to this CD in my car and I love it.  Hey, Powder Boy, it is your time of year!   Hey, Rob, I can't find that pic we took at your house last year, in front of the Buffalo pic.  Merry Christmas to you and Kat!

hi eph!
tempo change,
yes, that was really just a spur of the moment decision,
it seemed to go with the story line, more or less like you describe....
you've gotten to the top, after all the excitement and expectation building,
then, you get to drop in on thigh deep powder.
 
bong hit optional.
 
heheh

Excellent -- complex arrangement, excellent playing, outstanding vocals and harmonies, crazy cool tempo changes, professional mix, etc., etc......  You know the usual batsbrew stuff.  Love it!

Really enjoyed this! Very well written, arranged and performed.
Judging color on the internet is sometimes tricky.... Is your new strat  mint green?
P.S. 
Just brought home some new downhill boots and can't wait
to try them out. 

color is weird on the net,
the strat is vintage white....
 

this is more accurate.

hi freddy! thanks for listening,
but, complex arrangement?
ha, i just thought it was a rock and roll tune.

This sounds awesome on my car stereo! 
so does the entire CD 

Yeah I'm diggin in my bag of what-have-I-not-said-yet and I got nuthin.  As usual, kick ass radio worthy tune.  You know I love your structures, you keep it interesting and unpredictable and that's exactly what I like in music.
