Mike Babb & Hatteras "Turpentine Wine" (original version)

One of those 23 songs I wrote in three days -- all of which were inspired by the life and tragic death of a little boy named Jo Jo who played on a basketball team I coached in Atlanta. The band worked hard on developing a reflective feeling soundtrack & string section to enhance the song's acoustic origins & overall theme. So, I hope you enjoy my introspective journey back to "the good ole days ... THEY say."

Peace, Mike Babb

@analogic10 Thank you once again Ana for such an insightful comment. Yeah, we worked very hard on the arrangement of this song -- and, Gene's lead guitar work, along with his cool Les Paul licks in sequence wth the violins, truly compliment the soundtrack. Take it easy my cool and talented friend ... Mike

[analogic10]
