Rest in peace, Pandora Kitty

I just learned today that Pandora Kitty was put down. She hadn't been doing well for some time. For those who don't know who Pandora Kitty is, I offer "The Sneaking Straw Stealer" photo story from 1998. I guess that made her about ten and a half years old. Goodbye kitty. I'm glad I knew you.

Today I started making a video for my Red Baron song (see the previous blog entry of November 16, 2008).

New recording of RED BARON song

I wrote this song back in 1995, but only got a decent recording of it the day before yesterday (on November 14, 2008).

The lyrics describe an actual incident in the life of the Red Baron, when he was seriously wounded by a bullet that grazed his skull when he was attacking a group of British aircraft on July 6, 1917.

Red Baron is the page for the lyrics. There is a link to a free mp3 of the latest recording of this song immediately after the song title near the top of that page.

I used Audacity sound recording software to produce three tracks (guitar rhythm, guitar lead, and vocals). I hope you enjoy it! I am quite pleased with the results from this free recording software, although there is much room for improvement in the hardware I am using to record with. Someday I hope to add some sound effects to the song (aircraft engines, machine gun sounds, etc.), and produce a video for YouTube.
