Description
I have been listening to a lot of American folk music lately and this song is my first attempt to compose my own Folk Song.
I used Finale Songwriter software, by MakeMusic, Inc., to compose this song note for note.
This is a huge departure for me in terms of songwriting because all of my prior music is riff based from the guitar.
I had to approach this song and write out the parts for all instruments.
I used Reason adapted for Pro Tools to created the drums, but my goal is to record this song with real drums soon.
This is definitely a work in progress and YOUR FEEDBACK will directly effect where this song goes.
So what does it need?

Hell yeah!
Rock On California!
I just listened to this song again and I realized that the timing a little off between the Cello and the backline (drums, bass, and guitar).
I will try to fix it, but this version will stay up so I can get some feedback from my fellow MacJammers.
Peace,
Dragonas
