Rough Concept for a Bottle Label
Believe it or not I’ve actually been blending my own private label rum lately. I’ve always enjoyed drinking Dark Rum and Orange Juice and, many years ago, while Teresa and I were dating, I wrote a song on the beach in Negril, Jamaica called “Naked in Jamaica!”
I recorded a long, as well as a short version but have released neither. The long version is twelve-minutes long but has a parody at the end using the song “Rawhide” which I have yet to get approval for. I see the long version as an audio track for a film short one day but could release the short version as it’s all my material. It may have Spring Break cult potential!
Here’s half of one of the chorus’s –
I’m Naked in Jamaica while I work upon my tan . . .
Refresh my drink, got time to think, and could while I still can.
The sun, the breeze, my drink, the view, I soak them all within . . .
It’s time to turn, so I won’t burn, and tan my tender skin!
Anyway, I decided I needed to come up with my own private label rum brand and just started learning about the whole process at a local distillery. The first thing I learned is that it’s not a science . . . it’s an art! Can life get any better!
