Like Sexfizzy’s, my initial contribution is a story-song in the American idiom, as told by the anonymous person who developed competitive sailboat racing for a home audience. It follows the four-act structure for a tale of invention: the first flowering of an idea, the rolling-up of sleeves and greasing of elbows to give the idea shape, the despair at a seemingly insurmountable challenge, and, finally, the joyous overcoming of the final roadblock so that the fruits of one’s ingenuity can be enjoyed by all.
I put this in .wav format, so those of you Windows 3.0 users who haven’t been able to play the other guys’ songs will still be able to enjoy mine. It also proves beyond doubt that this virtuosic performance was actually recorded in a single take.

Mike, while I appreciate the fact that you’re stepping ON MY TURF with your acoustic guitar music, my iTunes cannot read your song, which means I can’t put it in the DUDESDUDESDUDES playlist, which I’m pretty sure means you’re disqualified.
Clearly, Space Stag will need to return to the SpaceLab to plot my next move and step up the melody game.
