I've been working on this one about a week, just haven't had much time so I've been piecing this together. The 1st session I put down the dsitorted uke (mic'd through br effects don't remember which one) and made the drum track in my studio. The next day I bought my pic up 

and did the phaser/delay uke and the vocals in my car. Had to set it aside for a few days but today I just put down the bass track and mixed and masterd, all done on the br900.
1-distorted uke track
2-vocal tracks
1 -stereo bass track
1-stereo phaser/delayed uke

Every Direction
written & performed by Hook

Rouge baritone ukulele, Peavey bass
Sounds of life from every direction
& those sounds all seem to move
It doesn't matter how I voice my objection
The sounds of life set the mood

          I'm just a small little spring
          Deep within the gears
          Might not even notice that I'm here

Sights surround every direction
Some rise from the earth & cycle around
Made from man but short of perfection
Set your sights on perfection & you'll be let down

             Chorus

    North, south, east & west
   Didn't try my best & I failed the test
   South, north, west & east
   Someone needs to pull the chain
   To wind up this mechanical me


Assault on my senses from every direction
An overload quite profound
It took no time to break through my defenses
Of course these are the defenses of a clown

Good track - very different sound wise, the distorted uke produces quite a different sound, quite unexpected.
You music always puts a smile on my face.

Wow! I really dug this one, bro! Those freaky little uke plucks and the harmony vox really shined big time.

Sweet ass bass line too - You wrote a helluva tune, I've been playing it all morning, it rocks!!

Solid!!
