MyVirtualBand.com was a website that began in late 2004 and closed in early 2007. On the site, musicians collaborated to create songs by uploading and downloading audio tracks. All the audio tracks on the site were released under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 license, which means that you can do pretty much what you want with the audio as long as you give credit to those who created it. There were 113 “featured songs” on the site, and a much greater number of songs “in progress”. Even though the site has shut down, the music from the site is still under the same license – which allows the songs to be re-released here in The Overnightscape Underground!

“My Straw Hat – Mix 3” is an alternate mix of “My Straw Hat” (featured song #59, released 10/5/05). I feel this mix is superior to the mix that was in the featured release. It is a great song and I am very happy to play it it here at the start of The Overnightscape Underground! The lyrics are very appropriate… “heading out on the highway”, just like I am heading off on the “road” of The Overnightscape Underground…

Lyrics:

Good mornin’ highway, it’s such a good day
We’re goin’ somewhere, where we can hear ’em play
You’re gonna have to trace this line, to know what’s on our minds
Just shufflin’ down this road

We got our straw hats on our heads, yeah
We’ve got an itchin’ for the road
To travel places far away
Come on now, let’s go

Hey

Good mornin’ highway, it’s such a good day
We’re goin’ somewhere, where we can hear ’em play

I’ve got the feelin’ that’s got me wheelin’
On down that dusty road
On down that road
It’s got me wheelin’ on down that road

I got my straw hat on today
Ain’t got no work it’s time to play
I’m gonna head out on that highway
To travel places far away

Whoo

Hey
