Here is one I wrote for Mother's Day. It's not brand new but I put the finishing touches on it and I think it's ready to be presented.

I used BIAB (2012):

=DESER_R Top40 Ctry Bal, res. guit (88 RT)
34 Finger Electric Bass
1 Acoustic Piano
41 Brushers Kit
26 Acoustic Guitar
377.Guitar, Resonator, Background Trav Ev 008

I played:

Yahmaha PSRE403 keyboard (three separate tracks, including strings). Both tracks recorded into Mixcraft 5, via Cl1 interface.

Big Baby Taylor acoustic guitar. It was recorded through my SP1 mic, into Mixcraft 5, via Cl1 interface.

My vocals were recorded through the SP1 mic, into Mixcraft 5, via Cl1 interface.

Everything mixed in Mixcraft 5.

Here is:

Forever and a Day

Thanks for any listens and comments.

Forever and a Day

Mother you gave me life
Always made things nice
Shielded me from all harm
Embraced me in loving arms

Now I must go away
But my love will stay

Forever
Forever
Forever
And a day

Mother you raised me good
Taught me things that you should
Felt my pain when I fell
Nursed me til I was well

Now I must go away
But my love will stay

Forever
Forever
Forever
And a day

Now I must go away
But my love will stay

Forever
Forever
Forever
And a day

Forever
Forever
Forever
And a day

Some nice moments here, obviously heartfelt.

My mother, 93, is in a retirement residence. They are in total lockdown, haven't been able to visit since early March frown

Really well done. So cool to take the voice higher as if it's mom. Reminds me of John Lennon, and that's a REALLY good thing. Great voice.


Enjoy whatever happens!

Ditto!

A super tribute to your mother.


OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?
