Love's Song

My recording "Love's Song", is an original piece... written in 1981 is a ballad in a "retro style", however not "retro" at the time I wrote and recorded it. Then it was just a song, the nature of which was fitting for the time... it was never recorded by anyone else and forgotten until I recently came across some old recordings... on "cassette tapes", and "Love's Song" was one finished project. The piece had to be tweaked a bit since it was only on a cassette. I transferred the recording to CD a few months later, and after playing for a few people was encouraged to release it.

For what it is worth, this is still the original track, a one shot, single take... just guitar and voice recording. There has been nothing added, no extra tracks on the original or on the remastering... this is how I was basically performing back in the eighties and prior as a solo lounge player, some memories of which I'd rather not remember. The whistling... as an instrumental break, was also done on the spot... ad lib... in the original one take solo recording.
