"Fairbanks 142" (Original song, Studio Version)

Inspired by the movie "Into the Wild".
An original song about following (or not following...)your dreams.
Fairbanks 142 was the name on the bus Chris McCandless found in the Alaskan wilderness. His dream was to give up his wordly posessions & live off the land in Alaska. The "magic" bus (as he called it), I thought was a symbol of fullfilment of one's dreams.
How many of us never pursue our "Fairbanks 142's"?
Check out the movie, it's awesome.
This studio version has way better sound then my alpha "demo" cut. My second attempt at harmonica...

Yes Eric, I used water colour pencils & took "progress pics" lol. Thx for the feedback, take care ~Greg~

Well you've put me to shame, Greg. Your second attempt at harmonica is a thousand times better than my first! My fairbanks 142 left 20 years ago ... I've been walking ever since ;-)

great song and video :)

Have you heard of the yobi sing contest?

[audiosoundzscape]

Thanks for the feedback. I hadn't heard of Yobi Tv, so I checked it out looks pretty interesting.

Thx again ~Greg~

Very nice! Did you also do the drawing?

[audiosoundzscape]

Thanks Drake, that means a lot coming from you pal. I actually had the song done 2 weeks ago, but I kept fiddling with the video. I ended up up using digital pics I took camping & cottaging in Northern Ont. (Algonquin Park & area). Then to do something a bit different I drew a picture of the "Magic Bus" & Chris McCandless (he took the original pic with a timer). I took stills as I drew it, then put them thru the vid.

Thx for your comment man, your friend ~Greg~
