Going On Vacation

Here's a tune I wrote years ago.  This recording may be the first one I made with a pc and my first real attempt at multi-tracking and mixing, so it's rude and crude on every level, but people usually get a chuckle or two out of the song:)

Pretty dry sound, you might want to add some reverb and a bit of echo IMO. I hear some background noise, but that can easily be removed. Other than that the song is pretty nice.
 
Also, your link doesn't work. In order to get to the song I had to remove the (#) from in front of blushasta in the windows link bar above. Your not showing it above in the link you posted, but it's there when you click on it, so you might want to take a look at your link.
 
Peace and Blessings, John

Nice one, this would fit perfectly in a Robin Williams movie I watched recently.

+1 what Daryl said.  This is a great song with really clever lyrics.  It's worth a re-do!  This version is still lots of fun to listen to.  Love it. :)

Ha, that was cute. "Bears attack without warning." Here in GA, it's black bears and while they "may" they usually turn tail and head the other way. Out west it's another story... A grizzly would ruin your vacation real quick.

We all start somewhere, and this is a great start... you can already play & sing, add some drums & bass.. keep adding and editing... before you know it you'll be knocking us out with your productions...
