1981 Just Pretend

Just Pretend, written by Mark Fielding Darden in 1981

I only had two versions of this song anywhere in my files. They were identical except one was an mp3 and the other was a wav file. Both were very bassy and mixed incorrectly. I sent the song to my good friend, Bill McDonald, and he cleaned it up by 90%, leaving me working wav files I could remix to get the final version that appears on the video. Thank you, Bill!
