^^^ That's my earworm

It's a nearly finished #SongForCoso which thanks to @Beanc and @opie raised $1000 for #CosoLifeSupport

Might put it up on #Bandcamp eventually, but not for November as I have one already lined up for that.

@Beanc
Too late! 🤣
I was just lazing about doing nothing in particular when a very powerful inspiration particle struck me right in the neurons!

I have already written your #SongForCoso

I am certain you're going to like it.

The recording process will take a while as I have spoken to someone about helping me to make it extra special!
But the chords, words and melody are all there!

Keep an eye on your DMs over the next couple of weeks ❤️❤️

They think it's all over.

It is now!

@Beanc DM me and we'll start working on your #SongForCoso soon.

Thanks everyone for the support and in particular to @Beanc, @CommonSenseGent and of course @opie for whom I have done a separate song (seriously. check your DMs!!)

@Beanc
Twenty minutes, my friends.
Will we see a sniper bid?
Are you completely fed up with auctions? 🤣

If you'd like to have the song on a CD so you can give it as a "wrappable" gift, I can arrange that too 😁

And we're at $450 (exchange rates notwithstanding)

$250 to go.

Thank you everyone who's pledged so far and thanks again to @amarand for suggesting this.
It's been a while since I wrote a new song because I have been concentrating on recording so this has been a lovely opportunity to do something new.

Remember half or more of all pledges goes to #CosoLifeSupport

We are now at $400
The target is $700 at which point I will publish the song on YouTube.

That means a minimum of $350 to coso.

Please pledge.
*** DO NOT DONATE YET! ***

I will DM donors with details after publishing.

The song is written. It's not as "frivolous" as I thought it would be.
It's nearer to a traditional folk ballad. A story.

Teaser:
He was just another hobo
In his raggle-taggle way
Sitting on the corner
On a raggle-taggle day
Clothes all torn and dirty
With no shoes upon his feet
Asking for a little help
On the raggle-taggle street
