While volunteering at the Rio Muchacho Organic Farm in Ecuador last month, a new friend I made there (Robert) and I decided one morning that we would write a musical depicting a day in the life of a volunteer at the farm. Unfortunately we had this idea the morning before my last night on the farm so we spent the balance of both our free time there huddled over a notebook writing down lyrics and melodies, practicing under palm trees and thatched roof-huts, and doing practice runs for small audiences before our big performance. We created a masterpiece, and it is my most proud achievement of 2009 thus far. Today (May 10th is Robert’s Birthday, and as a result I felt it appropriate to post the first song of the first act (with a slight modification) up on the internet in the odd chance that he and his lovely girlfriend check the internet in Bolivia today).
This song is titled: ‘Song 1 - Wake Up Song’ and was written by Robert Cruise and Luke Vigeant in April of 2009.
