The first day of Spring will be upon us this week, and none too soon. Its been a long, cold winter with record snow in Madison, leading to a bad case of cabin fever over the last several weeks. As we waited for a break in the weather, I decided to see if there was any chance a new song might be ready to germinate along with the first signs of Spring. It also gave me a chance to try out a couple of new toys including a new banjo I picked up, and a new portable recording set up through a refurbished Dell laptop with an M-Audio direct input box. This is what came out.
Old man winter's been here too long
I'm getting cabin fever trying to write this song, for you
been 4 long months of mostly gray and white
the days run short into long cold nights, feeling blue
Spring will come and its almost here
Spring will come and the skies will clear, for you
took a walk outside and felt a gentle breeze
but the weatherman said that tonight will freeze, again
but the sun gets stronger and extends the day
old man winter's grip will melt away, my friend
Spring will come and its almost here
Spring will come and the skies will clear, for you
