While I usually enjoy mowing, many times, its a time where I reflect on past or current events in my life. Sometimes those reflections may be painful and or happy. Some times its just plain crazy the thoughts that sneak in. Anyone who spends time mowing knows what I mean. This is about the times mowing that "crazy shit" enters your brain. And no matter how hard you try, you cant get those thoughts out. Does that make me crazy ? While its still in the rough stage and needs some added instruments, Im happy in the direction its heading. Has a weird vibe to it, but that where it needs to be. Hope to fill in some needed tracks in the future, but for now, below are the lyrics and the rough mix. If you have headphones listen with them.

I started with Tracktion 2, then Tracktion 3. Now I use a combination of Tracktion 3, Reaper, and Protools 10. Just learning to use Reaper and ProTools. This month Protools 11 comes out and Im eligable for a free upgrade to it. Cant wait. Awards

Reaper is a full blown DAW and only costs $60 for the individual license. You can download the trial version, which is the full blown version !!! Its not limited. Just has a "splash screen" asking you to pay if you enjoy and use it. Once you pay the $60, the splash screen when starting up the program disappears. DAW's take some reading and usage to learn. But it will open up a whole new world. Tracktion 4 is out now, but is still "buggy". Its less than Reaper, but still in its infancy and crashes on certain systems. Reaper is the way to go. http://www.reaper.fm/ Download it and play with it. Like I said the trial version is the full blown version. Many just put up with the startup screen asking you to pay if you enjoy it. Later Leadfinger 1 Awards
