New original tune my 13 yo daughter came up with: Reaching for the Moon She wrote the song, sang, played bass, and added keys I played drums and guitars. Fun project to do together!

Hey HR folks! I wrote these lyrics in the depths of winter… 29 (Longest February)…’cause leap year made winter EVEN LONGER this year, get it?! Ok, yeah! Anyways… I just got a chance to write and record the music yesterday. It’s the old “long winter, moving into spring” motif. Some familiar...
