Sometimes we forget... and when it comes to songs and music... that can be a real "rock in one's road." I completely forgot to send Mike the lyric and chord sheet for "Moonlight at Makaha" and wouldn't you know it. My mumbling southern accent was misinterpreted and "Sand Pile by the Sea" became "Sand Bough by the Sea."

Mike and I discussed it later and I decided it was entirely too insignificant to cause a "do over!"

Of all the songs I've written and recorded, "Makaha" was one of the most difficult for me. When writing a story with lots of local "color"... it's easy to get carried away and end up with a seven minute song. "Whittling" down a song is equally difficult but it's sure important to keep it under five minutes if you expect it to be recorded by a famous artist.

Before I forget something else, Niteshift... did you have any luck?

Thanks again, Mike. You made this one memorable for me. ----Dave
