She rides a Steed of Steel (with the rubber side down)

This song was authored/created by me as a follow-on project after completing my Neil Young cover music-video titled: "Unknown Legends", which was posted here on the Nation a week or so ago.
It was created using a simple homemade 3 string dog bowl guitar + an old $20.00 resale shop Casio keyboard (for drum rhythm backing) and mixed in a 10+ year old freeware Audacity audio editing program on a windows 10 PC.

Thanks for your feedback Derek - I really like the tune + video slideshow approach in crafting these songs. . . :-)

Thanks for your feedback Vinnie - it seems that the slideshow visuals really enhance the production + help to effectively assist in telling the story the words in the song are attempting to impart to others... and Roger the "play on" part as well... :-)

Thanks for your feedback Jason - I'm glad you liked the song and visuals.  I really enjoyed working on the authorship and singing + instrumental portions of this song, and based on the favorable feedback - I guess that this approach in letting the visuals assist me in telling the story of the words within the song is a keeper . . . .  :-)

Thanks Shane! - this song was played with a home-built 3 string dog-bowl resonator that would pass for a brother of those that you build over there in your shop across the pond . . . :-)

Thanks for the positive feedback  - Uncle John!  I'm really starting to favor the photo slide-show visual approach to help me more fully tell the story contained within the words of a song that I'm making an effort to sing...

Thanks Nancy kat - your feedback means so much more to me, because it's coming from a girl who actually has ridden a motorcycle for a number of years - as well as experienced/enjoyed the freedom that came with the lifestyle.  If you were here, I would give you a hug and tell you that I hope the song had worked to lift your spirit in some way - while you listened to it . . .  :-)
