Sitting Round The Campfire

The first year of the Calendar Project almost didn't go twelve months. In July of 2007 it came right down to the wire. I had to write a song and post it on the last day of the month. The song "Campfire Jam" was hastily recorded. Bluesman Jay has always given me a hard time about that tune. He never felt it was up to par. I know the song was rushed but five years later I still play it. I think it's a nice little ditty that captures the spirit of the Calendar Project.
This months song is a call back to that first July tune. It's another campfire song. I wrote it at the end of the month and it was recorded on my brother's iphone. It was the same vibe that created the first Campfire Jam. We were staying with Kate's folks when I recorded the 2007 song. This time we are staying with mine.
We are having a crisis with our house so we are staying with my folks for a couple of days. My mother is loving having all of her children and grandchildren under one roof. I'm glad my crisis has been enjoyable for her. Knowing I have band practice tomorrow I knew I needed to get the project done tonight. I wrote the song on the porch, used my brothers iphone to record it then posted it with my parents PC. I had another song ready but I wanted to take my time with it. I also knew that a rushed July isn't unprecedented. I've been camping twice this month and start camping at home tomorrow. The time was right for a new campfire song. I see myself playing this one five years down the road aswell.
