Glad You're Home

Here is another song. It's called "Glad You're Home." I wrote is a year and a half ago when we were visited by Patsy and Ford Clark and their (then) 11 year old daughter Sarah (WITH AN "H") and 9 year old son Kevin. As it turns out, they have hidden talents. Sarah has a sassy sultry voice great for voice over - so she recorded the speaking samples. Kevin can make a couple of the most bizzare sound effects - the first one is kind of a croaking duck in free fall, and the second is zippy zingy sound. These are unaltered sound effects!! You gotta hear it.

So, the day they were over, I had written a cool little guitar lick (the opening measures) and so we ran into the studio just for fun. We laid the whole thing out in about 2 hours. I was astonished at how cool "speed recording" could be; and also how fresh the sound was -- lyrics made up on the spot, splicing and dicing the samples. Anyway, thanks to Sarah and Kevin for re-introducing me to how much fun music is when you don't take it so seriously!

As usual, click on the image to get the song!
