Description

My 10 year old son, AJ was playing the Kalimba and we recorded him and added my wife, Maureen on guitar. Then I 'pencilled' in the bass, strings, etc later on. I may add some hand drums later. There are some lyrics about our grandson who had not yet been born. Not sure where the lyrics are, but here is the song. AJ was reading along with the lyrics and tapping out his interpretation on the Kalimba. This song makes me think about life and how those who are still with us mean so much more now. It was difficult maintaining the tempo as the song was never setup for it, so I gave up trying to force everything to fit... so if it bugs you, my apologies. whuduyagonna do?

	This is a really cool idea I think it came together pretty well. I would say that the acoustic guitar is the rhythm point in the song and it holds it all together. The other elements come and go as they tell their story. I like it. Keep on Bro, Stephen Check out my latest song called Love's Fingers Fall

	Nothing like family music Your ten year old son did a great job playing the kalimba, and Maureen sounds wonderful on the other instruments. We should all make music together instead of watching tv. This is cool. Check out my latest song called Sweet Grace
