steve@baselines.com Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User 905133 Posted February 6, 2022 Share Posted February 6, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wookiee Posted February 7, 2022 Share Posted February 7, 2022 In an interview on TV Sherman Kelly revealed the rather sinister story behind this song. It is a good cover. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

antler Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Nice cover - I like it! Were the vocal harmonies sung, or done with a vocal tool? Great sound either way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am certainly not a vocalist, but Melodyne helps make things at least bearable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
