steve@baselines.com 273 Posted February 6 Here's my version of an old King Harvest hit from 1972. https://baselines.com/?p=6444 Here's a quote by Sherman Kelly, who penned the song: On a trip to St. Croix in 1969, I was the first victim of a vicious St. Croix gang who eventually murdered 8 American tourists. At that time, I suffered multiple facial fractures and wounds and was left for dead. While I was recovering, I wrote "Dancin In The Moonlight" in which I envisioned an alternate reality, the dream of a peaceful and joyful celebration of life. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
User 905133 1,007 Posted February 6 They play this song quite frequently in one of the east coast chain supermarkets I go to. In a sense the supermarket is an alternate reality that celebrates a wonderful pastime--eating food! And I only go shopping when other customers don't bark and bite. Hmmmm. Maybe they play the song so customers get the subconscious message to be peaceful? In any case, this is a very enjoyable cover! Thanks for sharing. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wookiee 1,737 Posted February 7 In an interview on TV Sherman Kelly revealed the rather sinister story behind this song. It is a good cover. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Two of the vocals were sung, two were created with Melodyne. All were 'fixed up' with Melodyne. I am certainly not a vocalist, but Melodyne helps make things at least bearable!
