Recording information by TorchGOLD

Long ago and far away...I was to do this song at a fancy-shmancy resort area in Orlando, an early evening party outdoors, a Hawaiian themed party and told to dress in the theme. I found some fabric and came similar to ala Dorothy Lamour..she did the 'road show' movies with Bob Hope and Bing Crosby..I fabricated out of the fabric, a bandeau and a short sarong. I thought I looked good yet my self-confidence took even more of a beating when this other chick, another singer, shows up in this flowy more Greecian inspired one piece dress with a circle of green leaves around her head...like the islanders wear. Classy. Then there was ME! Looking like a shmuck-ong and if that weren't enough, my tape broke in the middle of my music. So to get me to even sing this song..maybe this is the 2nd time in many years..is a miracle! I still have that fabric somewhere and everytime I come across it, I think: That would be great on newly upolstered chairs! Very Florida room or lanai. Sigh..

Hi Matey. Liked your story. I've found that whatever happens you take a lemon and make lemonade out of it. I'd say you've done just that.

Broken tape. Yikes. I remember them days. It was stupid if you didn't keep a handy dandy splicer on hand.

Oh yeh. 5*'s and 2 thumbs up to you. - Russ

Memphis Bill a big thank you to you..Howard, thanks for finding me and adding me again! Angela..da bomb? That'd make me rather messy if I were to detonate but thank you and I'll be extremely careful when I sing, 'k? ;)
Russ ,mate, g'day! I didn't even know that you could get 'a professional' splice nor would I've known they could be used with a cassette tape!
EZSongster...of course you can still listen!

And Jamie! WOW! That was so very nice of you to say you come back for my singing, not what I am wearing. DOUBLE WOW!
Rene..thank you for always coming by! And BadBack I've got my head in braids as I write which by the was taken me an hour as my head keeps dropping to the keyboard! 3:24pm 6JUL08 I reckon I better find a tune to sing to wake me up!
