I recorded this around 1986 with me on electric guitar and improvising the vocal with heavy reverb. I did this in one take on a home two track recorder. I had the original cassette tape still preserved. After I transferred the song onto the Audacity program, I overdubbed several percussive instruments, some of which I am not even familiar with the names of the instruments. You can even hear my Doberman barking and growling in one track which I decided to keep since it seemed so natural. She was angry with me that I wasn't paying attention to her during the recording process and she was getting bored, so she gave me this performance that I'm so glad I have. It was a nice mistake. I am part Indian and, when I originally recorded this, I felt something go through me that I haven't felt since the time of this recording. It didn't seem as if I was performing a song but actually felt more like being a part of it. It was very strange to me and still bewilders me a little bit today. I think I was around 16 when I recorded it. Though this is not considered to be a mainstream song, it's not exactly avant-garde either. It's one of those songs that just seemed to have flowed in and out and has never returned back to me; at least not until I revisited it and completed it as my instincts told me to do so.
To finish off this particular mix, I had to convert it from a cassette format onto the Audacity program on my computer with a JVC TD-W254 Double Cassette Deck 3 motor Silent Mechanism.
This is the 180th song I wrote.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA. and MINE music Studio in Auburn, WA.

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
