DESTINY

I wrote this song in early December just before I went on holiday for a month to Goa. I am not particularly superstitious, however, I am not a very good flier and I thought that for some reason putting this on the web before I go on a journey that involved three flights to get there was pushing it. OK I am a little superstitious.  This song is now lost except for the finished track because I lost all the recorded parts when I was transfering my stuff from my old pc to a new one. In January I bought Reason Record, a very powerful and creative tool which made putting songs together a lot easier but it wouldn’t run on my old pc because it was under-powered. When I wrote this song I did it the hard way  by recording all the parts on Reason then converting them to audio files and playing them through Sonar and then adding the guitar and vocals. I had the Sonar lite version which was cheap and cheerful but not really up to the job and made the process long and cumbersome. Anyway that is all behind me now. Of all the files I have transferred onto my new pc it is strange that I just lost the files for this song – maybe it is Destiny!!!!

I am becoming a great fan of Youtube, all you have to do is think of a track and you can find it. Last night I downloaded songs from the fantastic 70′s band ‘The Cate Brothers’, produced by Steve Cropper they were one of the best and most underrated bands of the era, songs like ‘Union Man’ and  Where Can We Go’ are just timeless.  Listen and enjoy  to some great funky guitar playing.
