scally wagging

The word scallywag, popped into my head this week and made me smile. I gotta find out where that comes from, its a fun one. Definition I looked up just now includes "rascal" or "scamp" (also fun words). Maybe I was remembering how my grandma used to call me those sometimes, or I was thinking of my son when he was a younger since this song features him on the tenor saxophone.
So I put down this basic groove, then got my son to come play sax. He helped write these chords and we recorded for a while. Later, I wasn't really feeling it so I started layering his sax, adding a lot of reverb and echo delay. I liked where that was going, but ultimately ran out of time and inspiration to go a whole new direction so it became a hybrid if the layered dreamy idea, and the beat over pretty chords we started with. Did my best to make into something. The song ended up being a bit of a rascal itself. Some potential though, and some fun was had. Another week done, almost the end, wow. Hope you all are good. Thanks for the music and inspiration each week!
