After finding an arrowhead and learning about the forced removal of the
Wyandot Nation, I wrote this song. �Two nights ago I played it for my wife.
She thought the strumming pattern was too busy. �She also didn't like the
percussive sound of my pick hitting the strings. �I went ahead and recorded
it today. �I kept the mike away from my strumming hand so the percussion
wouldn't make it in the song too much but I kept the strumming pattern
pretty much the same. �Then I added a short lead intro track in the
beginning and I improvised an lead track over the song near the end. �One of
my frustrations was not being able to come up with another strumming pattern
that didn't sound boring to me. �That's why I left it the same.

Here's the song:http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page_songInfo.cfm?bandID=779374&songI...

I listened to it, and I have some opinions about it, which I will keep
to myself, because I have a good memory.

Feel free to say anything you want, Mike. I've grown a thick skin. I just want to improve.
