My latest original instrumental - a laid back Strat tune called, "Katydids and Fireflies"

This one uses the “Yesterday” drum song from the Beatles folder in the premium content. I kept wondering why the drum track didn’t sound familiar. Then I remembered - there are no drums on Yesterday. Anyhow, this one made me think of hot summer nights of my youth that I spent listening to katydids and watching fireflies. It features a 2011 Fender American Deluxe Stratocaster on lead and a 2012 Martin DC Aura Custom acoustic on two rhythm tracks. The bass track features a 2012 Rickenbacker 4003.

I may have to invest in a dedicated video camera one of these days. My Samsung S10e is getting pretty flaky and shaky with the focus on the front camera.

Lovin’ the gentle sway of the melody. Has a very nice Seals & Croft meets America vibe to it.

Loved it Joe, and persist is bang on, turned up playback speed to 1.25 and has a ventura highway feel to it.

If you can put some words to the music you might have a hit. At least in the old days when you could get your song on the radio if it was good enough.
