Five Minutes a Year (tribute to my Grandfather)

Wrote this song for my Grandfather when he passed in 2007, and had a request to record a youtube version from a friend who recently lost a grandparent.

Written by Scott Haskitt, performed by Scott Haskitt and Laura Hartshorn.

@sdellis3 Thanks for the comment... we have a page up under the name "birds over arkansas" and are working on an EP to release soon. Happy new year!

Such a great song man. If you were close to me I'd say come over and let's record it over at my studio. It's a great song and it would love to here it mixed better.

If you wouldn't care I'd love to remix it and try to make it sound better. I'm not the best but I really love this song and I can hear some things that could be fixed.

@sdellis3 - Thanks for the compliments on the song. To be completely honest, I hear precisely what I want to in both the performance and mix. I wanted it to sound like two people playing music in a room. I mull over details of just about every other song I record, but this one needs the spontaneity and imperfection in order to breathe, at least in my head. Thank you for the offer on the mix! Do you have anything I can check out that you've done?
