1979 Raft Race Song Re-recorded

Apr 28

After catching heck from Kelvin H about the previous Ragae version, we tried again with Amanda and Ukele. Kelvin, I think this is an improvement (for sure), but I'd still LOVE to hear what you and your buddies can do with it (like you said, add maybe some (or a lotta) "swamp")???.

Really, wouldn't hurt my feelings to start over with a new 2014 song altogether.

Amanda did great! But if it's music related, I perfer mine - "local" ;)

This song won first place in the "Best Raft Race Song" competition during raft race 2, 1979, Great Cypress Creek Raft Race, Florence Al. I'd love to see a new song and recording from one of our many talented local artists. If you have thoughts, i'd love to hear!

Oh, I almost forgot. There's one more verse to this song. I deleted it, just because I was worried it might be a bit controversial. Anyone remember how the last verse went??

Robin Wade

Robin Wade Furniture is a celebration of nature—a melding of a forward thinking commitment to the environment and a quiet, harmonious design aesthetic. From his "slow studio" in North Alabama, award-winning wood artist Robin Wade designs and crafts one-of-a-kind handmade furniture. Years before a piece is ready to enter a client's home or a gallery, the process begins—naturally—with the tree. Sustainably harvested, each specimen of hardwood is flitch sawn into natural-edge wood slabs, debarked by hand with a draw knife, and stacked to dry, usually for years, before the final cure in the kiln. From here, Wade and his team use both hand and power tools to bring Wade's vision to life, and then finish each piece with a hand-rubbed oil blend. Each organic furniture creation by Robin Wade Furniture balances the raw, natural beauty of environmentally, locally sourced hardwoods with minimally invasive, clean lines—a juxtaposition Wade calls both rustic and modern. “I haven’t yet found a better artist than nature,” he says.
