The Right To Bear Herbs

I think the lyrics stand out and are plenty clear enough to hear, but I'll write them up if people need it.

The details of what BIAB stuff I used is on my other computer...I'll write that up later, too. IIRC the style is something like "Rap 1 "

All the tracks in this tune are BIAB, besides the vocals (obviously).

Enjoy!

Hi.
Interesting satire. Got this old school Hip Hop vibe to it... for some strange reason "Vanilla Ice" came to mind.

I like your cover too smile

Thanks for posting!

Great work on this Dioechooto, this was wonderful! The arrangement is a pleasure to listen to and I dig the overall timbres. The vocals harmonize well with the other instruments. Looking forward to hear more!


Cheers,
Joe

Thank you all, I appreciate your giving it a listen, and your comments!

BIAB is an awesome program...really just amazing! So versatile, so powerful.

For example, I just tried out for the first time the button that shows the notes of a selected instrument light up on the guitar fretboard. Man, that is pretty nifty, you know? What a great learning tool!

I love jazz music, but as a guitarist? Nah, man, I don't even...I can't...there's just no way. Realistically. You know? BUT! What I can do, even at this late stage in my game, is borrow a little from the approach.

Seeing the notes playing in real time, being able to easily slow the tempo, change the key...man, that's really neat!

Cool lyric. One of our new vendors up here in Canada may pick it up as great advertising hook. Well done.

Wow, that's exciting! Please keep me posted!

Thanks so much for the kind words, Scott...I've been struggling and boy o' boy do they ever help sometimes, you know?
And for sharing this with that vendor? Priceless, bro...MUCH appreciated!

I actually have another tune that could be reworked a bit to serve up a commercial hook in the same "vein"**, should there be any interest

** something of a quip... there's a wonderfully therapeutic herb common name of kratom, that has various strains with three major categories "red vein", "green vein", "white vein"

Very cool song and I love the protest aspect to it. There's a lot of rights in our bill of rights, herbs are not there but,,,, hey I'm all in with you. It's a plant. They can't throw a patent on it so... it remains illegal in most places still. Yep, it has proven therapeutic value and more will be discovered I'm sure.

Loved the groove in the song.

Very nice tune, and a interesting message. Definitely a change of pace musically to what is usually on the forums. I thought it had a nice groove and was nicely catchy too. Thanks for sharing!
