Description

This is a song written by Lafayette (Patrick) doing a cover on "A Horse with No Name" by America. I never really heard that song so this is my take on how it would sound if I had that track.

I really tried to work it with the harmonies. ;-)
I got carried away and started to whistle too. woo hoo!!!

Special thanks to Illuminator and Becwil for mastering the production on this piece. We all know I'm lost in that regard!

Hope you enjoy!
-Linda

p.s. The numbers are the routes I take to drive from NY to Boston. I drive fast you know ;-)

	harmony overload . . . . . .there were times that I couldn't process all the harmonies. I don't like the acoustic guitar plugged direct, but in context they work pretty well. I totally hear the America cover . . .I like the effect of the route numbers and the speeds. Check out my latest song called Moment

thick harmony!
I love the thick harmonies--not too much for me. I agree that the guitar sounds like it was plugged in direct. Its got that fizzy, plastic-like Fishman undersaddle sound. Can't stand 'em even though I've got 'em in two of my guitars. Try using a condenser mic pointed at the lower bout of the guitar.

I'm a harmony freak, too! Check out an old post of mine at
