Background
This is new genre for me, I hope I did it at least partial justice.

It also is a "threshold song" in that my learning made a quantum leap. I discovered and used MIDI for the 1st time and I'm feeling like a progressed from a training wheels bike to a full blown big boys bike smile

I also solved my problem of not being able to pan, it was a problem in how I setup my interface software.

I discovered that Studio One has a built-in drum machine complete with a 16 step sequencer . . . you-hooo!
So I injected 2 MIDI voices in this song; a crumb shaker (panned left) and a wood block (panned right). This is like a whole percussion solar system and a MIDI galaxy opening up for me . . . very cool stuff.

Comments always welcomed.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
