Nice cue

Sounds authentic, evergreen and eminently licensable. I don't think the title does it justice though if you're planning to sign it to a library.

Very cool track. 8-) Tracks like these can be very marketable with libraries as they fill niches that are harder to find. Libraries are filled with rock, pop, singer-songwriter, etc. But not stuff like this.

Not a good title at all. When I saw "Sticky Goop", I thought "Children's Song". It should have a title with words like "Irish", "Jig", etc.

Best,
:D Casey

For what it's worth (not monetarily) it was inspired by and composed for the CAPTAIN and crew of The Duracell Project, who are customizing a 60-foot sailboat,
in Port Townsend, WA. The title came from the use of a lot of epoxy compounds used to glue/bound stuff together.
It's their option to use it in any episode of their documenting the journey of the rebuild/restoration; and they like it. Mission Accomplished.

If it were to be aimed at a licensing deal, then a different title could be considered: a jig is in 6/8; a hornpipe is in 4/4... even though it can sound like 12/8.
:? :P

Thanks for the ears and the feedback.
