about

This was actually a fun project I did with my friend Sean Crain. Sean came over to my place back in 1986 and showed me a silly bass part he wrote. I immediately got my guitar, which was out of tune, and recorded the session on my two track recorder. I improvised the lyrics, singing whatever came to my mind. At the end of the recording, Sean refined the bass part and we did another version, fully instrumental but making funny noises and sounds in the background. The only thing missing was a drum part, which I put in Jan, 2014. It’s all silly and goofy, but I think the fun came out in the recording. I even kept the drums really silly to keep the mood of the song going. Not too many of my old songs that I saved as a demo are very good or bring back good memories, but this one was worthy of the effort to save and complete. It’s not professional by any standards really, but the odd mood of the tune surely is there.

These are songs #196/197 respectively.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

I HAD A CAR; IT WENT BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, DEE-BOOM. WOO!
I HAD A TIME AND IT PASSED AWAY. I HAD A TIME AND IT PAST AWAY
INTO NON- EXISTENT TERRITORY.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
