"Where Have All the Flowers Gone" - May Come Live from the Rockhouse

The song started as a simple MIDI file I pulled down from the Web and they're worthless as they sit online but when I get my grubby hands on it I can load it into GarageBand to change the voices to make them more interesting, add a drummer who listens to how many fills I want, etc, etc.

The Galaxy Guitar got into it a little bit but really the point of it is Silas needs to bring that deathless vocal to the song and I tried that as well.

Ed:  don't you mean 'undead vocal?'

That isn't what I meant but I have heard that (sob).


Unknown if this will spill through to that concrete world you sadly call reality but it might since it doesn't make me cry when I do it.

Ed:  after hearing your voice, it fucking should!

Well, it does make anyone else cry but not for the same reason as when Pete Seeger sings it.

Ed:  are you finished ridiculing yourself?

I believe that will be sufficient.


Wouldn't it be whacked if one of today's divas showed she has enough stuffing to cover the song.  I really would respect it and straight-up too.  Their superficiality is what makes my teeth itch.  Should any of them get past that, I'll stand up and applaud.

Ed:  you ignore Pink!

I ain't finished yet.




Like I say, I will stand up and applaud.
