Thought it might be fun to post this tune from around 2000. The lyric is taken from a children's poem by Harold Monro called "Overheard on a Salt Marsh". My wife joined me on vocals; she's a punk screamer from the East Village hardcore 80s (though you'd never know it from this).

I thought I got a pretty good bass sound on this from my Fender Coronado hollow-body; it's cherry red with two f-holes that used to give me some nasty feedback in clubs. Guitars all came from my old Strat run through a rack-mounted Marshall preamp. If I remember correctly, this was before there was much amp modeling in DP.

This was one of the first tunes I recorded entirely in the digital realm; up to this point I'd been using MIDI sync tracks on four and eight track Tascam machines. I don't miss those days one bit!
