"The Camp Out" Closing Music

When I began writing the first Jabloo cartoon, "The Camp Out", I knew I wanted the incidental music at the end of the episode to be slow and soothing – typical kids' sleepytime music. The piece needed to be more serious than the lively theme song. So, this weekend I opened GarageBand and just started plunking down notes. Within about an hour, I had the song down, and after a couple more hours' tweaking I'm really happy with the end result. It's got the warm, cozy, childlike feeling I wanted.

Here it is - it's nice when something comes out effortlessly and exceeds your hopes. I wish that happened more often, but hey – I'm grateful that it happens at all.
