A Sound of Thunder
I had the basic lyrics written out for this in April and was working on the music this summer. After the assassination attempt in July, I decided to hold off completing the song lest anyone misconstrue the meaning of the song. This song has nothing to do with assassinating any U.S. president. The idea for the song is the well-worn science fiction theme that if time travel were possible, would you eliminate someone like Hitler or Stalin, or John Wilkes Booth or James Earl Ray? If your haven't read Ray Bradbury's short story "A Sound of Thunder," you might not understand some of the references. Musically, I might have gotten a little too ambitious because I was trying to do something different from my usual. This was the only piece of music I worked on for the two months I had off this summer. Yeah, I was a little lazy.

***Per Marty and Dave's suggestion, I gave the vocals a little boost. Let me know if it is too much or not enough. Per Ron, I fixed the ending instrument drop. Thanks, fellas!

The style is FLANNEL, which lists the band as 1009 bass, 639 guitar, 3184 guitar and real drums rockhard09; however, when I generated the tracks (more than once), the tracks were 1592 bass, 1559 guitar, 1597 guitar, 3184, guitar, and real drums RockhardLA. I kept them all except 1597
