I know, it has a bouncy, happy feel to it. Well I was happy, maybe the prisoners weren't.

Thanks!

Wayne

Thanks!

True story. I saw some weird stuff working in the deep south, some you would just shake your head in disbelief. Had lots of fun too!

Wayne

Thanks man! Well I'm on the fence when it comes to my singing.

I have listened to a lot of folk music like John Prine and Townes Van Zandt and their stories are so real and they suck you in. I'm just trying to tell stories, about anything, lol. Sand, cars, girls, unfinished furniture...there's gotta be a story/song in most things we encounter in life.

I just heard Neil Young say that if you write about the mundane parts of life as opposed to what's trending in the world then you've done your job as a songwriter, your not doing what most people are flooding the airwaves with, you are being original.

bla, bla bla, lol

Wayne

I wrote it to be lighthearted and fun, a little island/desert thing happening.

We both thank you!

Wayne

Thanks! Hope you were wearing your pith helmet when you were listening. :)

Yup, the bass does the trick, almost like it's supposed to be there. Robin worked hard to get it just right, fun collab!

Wayne

Thanks! It's different, not too sure what genre it is though. Appreciate the kind words!

Wayne

Thanks!

Those are actually 2 tabla loops I used and not congas but they do sound similar. Robin sent me a bass with a little wobble to it and it helped give it some movement in the mix.
Glad you like it!

Wayne

Thanks i.

I hadn't done a collab in a while and Robin offered to play bass on one of my tracks if I ever did a Pink Floyd cover. I wasn't planning to do a PF cover so I asked him to play on this. He did a smashing job!

Wayne

Thank you Rita! It was a productive collab I think.

Wayne

Thanks!

Wow, another DJ Shadow reference, totally unexpected.

Wayne

Thanks! Had to look up who you were talking about, had no idea, lol. Checked out some of his material, i heard a hint of why you would mention him. The only thing is, he knows what he's doing. :)

Wayne

Hey Michael, good to see you around with some new tracks!

No I haven't changed my style. Just trying to mix it up a bit, get some new ideas stirred up in the old grey matter. Every so often I'll take a little break from the folk and rock stuff and search thru Ableton for some interesting loops and sounds. Plus I threw my back out and couldn't sit and play any instruments comfortably.

Thanks!

Wayne

Yeah, there's a lot of little changes happening.

The burp was a perfect fit followed by my apology and the silly whistle. :)

Wayne

Thanks Unk!

Wayne

Thanks Maj!

Wayne

Thanks!

Got lucky finding some loops that all worked together and allowed me to create something a little different from my usual stuff.

Wayne

Thanks!

That's what I like about it too, kinda in your face.

Wayne

Thanks!

There's a certain attitude happening that i like with this one.

the burp, lol!

Wayne

Thanks man!

Wayne

Thanks!

Wanted to add some clean rhythm guitar here and there but it's busy enough musically. Haven't looked thru the pellas yet.

Wayne

Thanks! Yeah, there's a lot of different sounds going on, many instances where it reminds you of some genre or style at that very moment. Just playing with some different sounds other than my acoustic.

Wayne

Thanks! The backbone is funk with a more modern, urban feel to it. Some latin styled percussion helps too.

Wayne

I have no idea if they are singing actual words or just phonetically spoken sounds or chants. Hopefully it's all good, ha!

Thanks!

Wayne
