Finally, a little extra computer time. 
I will say it again, I am truly awed by the response to this song. I've received not one, but TWO emails about people on here working out a recording or adding to my own recording. It gives me tingles in my belly to know that it's been taken so well.
Ken P - your comments make me consider finding a little quiet time and playing around in audacity a bit more. Maybe I will attempt to record a couple tracks and put them together instead of just doing the guitar and vocals all at once. I really need to play around a little more with some software. I also have a friend nearby that has a whole home studio set up. If I can find some time when he's free, maybe I'll even go over there. He's offered, and I just don't get out enough!
Jeff- Jets60- I actually blushed when I read your reply. I'm sure glad no one was around to see it. I don't think I blush very much anymore. LOL! Thank you!
TIGLJK, Jim - I don't think I really have a ton of talent when it comes to the guitar. I just strum it. I don't even know what I'm doing half the time. ha ha! Thank you so much though. Every time I play it or listen to it, I think of Mad Beach or Treasure Island - the white beaches in the Gulf of Florida. The recent Chordiestock II trip helped a LOT with that visualization! As for writing it, the funny thing is I just had a writing "moment". I threw one song down on paper in about 20 minutes, messed with it, said "oh that's crap" then fiddled with the guitar a little and threw this one down in another 20 minutes. I tweaked it and played with the vocals and changing a few chords over the course of the day. I actually can't believe how quickly it all came together. Hence, wanting to do another recording sometime in the future. I didn't really spend "enough" time on it. OR, that's how I feel at the moment. (ps - this has probably been covered somewhere before, but what does the TIGLJK stand for?)
DINO - how did you change it? When I started writing it I was teetering between bluesy and island feel... I went island because it seemed to fit better with the chorus. I'd love to hear what you're doing different. Graham is working on a reggae version!
To all the rest of you, THANK YOU... I love you all! Chordie is THE BEST! Maybe I'm nuts, but I made a facebook "music page" for myself. I realize I have some stuff on youtube and some stuff on soundclick and if anyone wants to find everything it's really tricky. This won't help anyone using an android/iphone facebook app, but on the computer if you go to the link under my profile for website, you can see my music page on FB and from there I have added soundclick and youtube apps so you can play everything from FB without bouncing around sites. I am seriously considering pushing myself to find a public outlet for music too. We'll see how that goes. I sure wish there were actual open mics around me.
Art and beauty are in the eyes of the beholder.
What constitutes excellent music is in the ears of the listener.
