Kevin introduced me to his Mac, Total music software and midi keyboards ("What sound do you want? Sax, strings, bass etc etc") back around 1986 or so and I just went ape. This tune is an update to a tune that I had composed back in the late 80's in Kevin's studio. Thank you Kevin wherever you are in this Cosmic chaos. Percussion and drums by Paul Redmond.

a Camel in the desert. My friend Kevin (who orders the pizza in 'Take-Away')
had bought himself a Mac and Midi system setup back in the mid 80's. Asked
me to come over with a tune (Just by chance I had this 'Camel Ride') and
give it a go to see how it works....and I went ape. This basically was
my introduction to home recording systems and what wonderful toys they are.
