This is the first song that I have ever written that uses a non-standard guitar tuning. It's an unusual variation on the drop D tuning that I learned from Joe Rut. Joe Rut learned it from Bernie Jungle. And Bernie Jungle learned it from Jimmy Page.
I played the guitar and then overdubbed the three voices. From the vocals, I think you can tell that I spent much of my childhood listening to the Beach Boys.
To top it all off, I had the esteemed Earl Butter add some trumpet to it. Earl just seems to be getting better at the trumpet all the time.
Three degrees of separation from Led Zeppelin & the Beach Boys—sounds good to me! Hope you all enjoy it.
