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.
