I Don't Have to Dream -New Song

I've written a lot of tunes over the years with Samantha in mind, but this is only the second time I've written one as a gift. This one is for our 18th wedding anniversary, which means we've been together for 20 years! Holy crap 20 years?! Wow! Time flies...

The song is called I Don't Have to Dream. That's right "It may be hard to believe, but you're right here in front of me. Nah, it ain't so hard to see, that I've got everything I ne-ee-ee-eed. I don't have to dream..." You know I love you baby!

The ukulele is pretty obvious, but the rhythm is with a hairbrush and a stick on a wooden washboard. I like alternative percussion.

Here's a new version of 'The Wind.' It's still a living-room recording, but I added sound effects to get an idea of how it might sound when it's done. It sounds like I'll be able to take some gear to Artichoke and record in the 'Back Gate' which has great acoustics and is further away from traffic than my stupid living room.
