CAC-War Kitty – Bungies Beater Riff
Here’s a little beat/loop/progression I threw together yesterday.  I really think that this will develope into a complete song of some sort.  It’s kind of a smiley face in a mindless happy way.  So why fight it.
 
A good one for New Years Eve… have fun.

The Jungle Thang…

December 18th, 2008 · No Comments

Israel “IZ” Kamakawiwo`ole
