Left the Barn Door Open

 

This here’s a new little ditty I whipped up  on yonder laptop  to help tell the tale of the day my horse got out when I left the barn door wide open…When you leave the barn door open, the horse can’t be blamed for horsing around!

At least that is the spirit of the song. It’s  an instrumental, so you’ll have to image what hijinks ensue to the horse after he starts horsing  around after he leaves the barn…Silly horsie! What ever will become of you?

New Electronic Experimental Music by Catfish Rivers – “Booksy Wooksy”

New Electronic Experimental Music by Catfish Rivers – “Booksy Wooksy”

 

“Booksy Wooksy” an electronic instrumental track I made about the dizzy feeling I experience after getting lost in a book for hours and then having to suddenly peel my eyes away to look up at something going on in “reality”…

I didn’t have any specific plans for this tune, so I figured I would just release it here for your random enjoyment.

Songblague – A spontaneous autobiographical disclosure. A free-form slow-mo listening party. A song a day. Yours to Enjoy.
