Ride Together: our announcer wrote the Society a song

Rob Painter, the voice of the arena, wrote and produced a WES anthem, and hid it in my.WES. Here is how to find it.

You know Rob: voice of the arena, keeper of the running order, the man who has been telling you where to be and when for more years than either of us will admit to.

It turns out he has been busy. Rob has written a Society anthem, Ride Together, and it is hidden in my.WES.

How to find it

  1. Open my.WES

    On your phone or computer.

  2. Press and hold the WES badge

    At the top of the screen, for about a second.

There is a second song too, about the Nationals, hidden on a page you will open at Oakridge. Rob wrote and produced both, with a little help from AI. Nobody commissioned them and nobody paid for them: they are his gift to the Society.
