It’s Sunday - time to kick out a happy jam. This is a peppy little tune that largely utilizes the Moog Subharmonicon. That synth is becoming kind of a love/hate thing with me. It can be really frustrating to get something just right with it. I feel like it’s more a matter of taming it than playing it. Maybe that’s just me. I did get something I liked one evening and here it is. Headphones on and enjoy!
