Wine You Dine You

craig and rosario toasting

Inspired by the beauty of a girl (Rosario) who would later become his wife, Craig composed and produced this song as a gift for her listening pleasure. This love song written during the US invasion of Iraq has a sort of a persian influence. The middle eastern flavor was introduced into the keyboard melody by me to reflect the culture that was being focused on by the news media.

Craig recorded the acoustic drum parts first, embellished that audio track with midi percussion parts, then composed the keyboard part and vocals to fit in later sessions.
