Hi Folks!
I though that I should post this here on the Island, rather than cause any speed bumps or make extra work for out wonderful host, Janet for Season 229.
My original entry to this Season 229, is posted to the thread here.
I like this FIRST attempt because both the spoken intro that I did, as well as the video performance were both very spontaneous, organic and improvised. It felt very 'on-the-fly' and I wish not to detract from that with a more polished and possibly 'sterilized' version as my 'official' Season entry.
So much of the essence of the Seasons is 'come as you are' (warts and all) and I really love that ethos here...
But when I listened back to the video the next morning, all the rest of that day, I could not shake the feeling that I had the ability to 'do better' with both the performance of the song, and the technical side of the recording...
Thus, I made a new recording, audio-only, and with a smoother flow to the lyrics.
I was hoping that my fellow Seasonistas might like to hear this version as well.
I did not bother Janet with this, since she is going to be busy in the 11th hour...
However, after consulting with a few of my precious confidants...I have decided to go with this path as explained herein.
You know who you are - and I thank you for your meaningful counsel.
So without further delay, I present to you, the ALTERNATE, audio-only version of my original song: 'Aloha, Mahalo, I Love You'.
Please feel free to tell me which version you like better, maybe either via PM or in the YT comments, or here if that is ok (I'm not sure of the Island protocols since I'm new to the Island).

N.B.: If you click on the SHOW MORE of the YouTube description area, there are reciprocal links between the original version of this song, and this alternate, audio-only version.
