					<description><![CDATA[&#160; A quick rough draft of a song written for the RPM Challenge &#8212; on the last day. This is not that version &#8212; it was really, really, really bad, we are talking laughably so &#8212; but rather  this is an acoustic version I recorded for posting to the Internet Archive (the content home of AYoS).
