About a special place...its not called Laurelie, but I liked the lyricism of that word.

this was my last rpm song...i had a little mandolin riff and threw on the kazoo (which broke in the last verse), and it reminded me a happy bee buzzing around...and there you have it!

The lyrics were co-written with Mike Novak. I sent him the music, and we worked from there. I've done that a bunch with friends from Canada (Me Man Jack - check them out) and its fun to collaborate..

Messing around with a Korg. Part of my outer-space theme - the Apollo program ended with Apollo 17...imagine if they had 51 missions! Also, a subtle link to Area 51.
