Jo, I want to applaud your efforts in defense of those beautiful creatures. As custodians over lesser animals, man(kind) has failed miserably.

I'm not sure what I can do to help but I would be more than willing to contribute a BIAB tune. You know my material, just pick one or none. I know how difficult such things can be, especially between friends.

Donny

A terrific title. Nice arrangement. Well sung.

This is a great project to be doing!

For those who dont know how remarkable Floyd is, I ran the idea of doing a rhino album past him on a Thursday night about two weeks ago. On the Friday morning I woke up and he already had a song for the album that he had written while I was busy sleeping in South Africa. Thank you Floyd for all your support. I really appreciate it.

Great track with some lovely emotive vocals and excellent BVs.

Rog. Thank you so much. I also like the banjo rhythm. My friend who I am pitching it to plays the banjo so hopefully this will take her fancy. I have to admit that I sometimes just get lucky with the BVs and something just happens that seems to work. I dont seem to be able to recreate it though...

PS: I Loved the harmonies very much !


Ah Thank you Dani. You are so sweet! Lets certainly hope we can raise some serious money for this cause. The nice thing about this project is that if we can get all the songs donated AND we can get somebody to do the mastering and artwork pro bono then I have a sponsor for the first batch of physical CDs and I am sure other companies will be willing to sponsor some CDS. So the full retail price of the CDs will go to the Rhinose foundation. Here's hoping!

Really enjoyed this song but I am puzzled by the Viet Nam reference. Keep posting. Love hearing what you're doing, and thanks so much for supporting me! Take care. Greg

Hi Greg. I also eat meat and struggle with the ethics of that. I think we are not alone on that front! I would LOVE you to contribute a song to the album. If you have a look at their website www.rhinose.org or facebook page www.facebook.com/rhinoseday there may be some inspiration there.

On the Vietnam reference in the song. I did a bit of research on this and Vietnam has become the biggest market for legal and illegal rhino horn coming from South Africa. The interesting thing is that this demand only really started taking off in 2008 when it was being marketed as "The drink of millionaires" and a cure everything from hangovers to cancer. I think the real danger is if this "myth" takes over in China then that really is the end for the rhino. So Rhinose is making a effort in the campaign to reduce demand. This strategy has worked in the past in other Asian countries. Let me know if I can help with a co-write. There are many interesting angles to this one...

Don, Your support is always so appreciated. Just by spreading the word you are already helping. I think they specifically want songs with lyrics about the rhino but I will bear your kind offer in mind in case they do change direction when push comes to shove and we don't have enough rhino songs to fill the album.

I'm late to the party and everything that I wanted to say already has been said, i.e. great song, great backing tracks and super cause.

All I can add is that I think this is your best to date.

I will give a +1 here. I especially liked the mix of vocals on the chorus and outro.
