Throttle Up song has been entered into the contest 1/9/2011

I want to thank my online Band mates Torie and Joe

Thursday night 1/6/2011 I had to come up with a song

I've had this guitar riff for 20 years.
I got online with Ejamming Audio and chatted with Torie aka THP32
We talked about what we could do with the song. we had 2 days

Friday 1/7/2011 I went to work with the words in my head
Throttle up

When the Challenger blew up it was when NASA said Throttle up
We all held our Breath and cried at what we saw in the sky

Every Shuttle launch with the word Throttle up my Wife and I would hold our Breath and pray the Shuttle made it past Throttle up and kept soaring into Space.

So here I am having to come up with a song playing my guitar riff.
Throttle up kept popping up in my Head
While at work I wrote up on the board the 1 verse to Throttle up Song, my version.
My Boss Gary came up with the 2nd verse that fit perfect to the space theme.
When I got home, I went online and read some space websites and came up with the 3rd verse

The Chorus I came up with what would the crew be saying to the Commander of the Shuttle Endeavour.

Saturday 1/8/2011 I went into my home recording Studio and made 2 Acoustic Guitar Tracks left and Right and then 1 stereo Drum track

I sent the Audio to Torie and Joe

Sunday 1/9/2011 at 10:00 Am I open to my e-mail to Torie Guitar Audio and Joe Bass Audio. I was blown away with there parts.
I went into my studio using Cubase 5 and imported the Audio
Then I was able to add the Harmonica and Vocals
Torie and I listen to the tracks in Ejamming Audio

We could hear one part was missing. Torie made a Lead track and sent it to me

I went back in the Studio and made the final mix down
1/9/2011 at 8:30 PM I uploaded to NASA Wake up the Astronauts website
