I’m cheating a bit one last time this week -- back from vacation but without the computer access I need to do a brand new song this week.  So what I’m offering this week is a “previously unreleased” song from Portland: The Album that I’ve come to grow pretty fond of.  It’s remarkably short, but a lot of fun -- think of it as a jingle for Portland, the kind of thing that might appear in a commercial for our beloved city.  I put it together for the Multitracking 101 section of the Portland Songs web site, to show how the multitracking method works.  But in the process I think I wrote a fun little number.  So, without further ado, here is the aptly titled “Portland Ditty.”

Next week, I promise something totally original!

Lyrics:

No matter what you do, or where you go, anywhere under the sun.

There’s no place like my own hometown: Portland, Oregon.

Portland, Oregon!
