Flower Stand Flower Stand
"Then the lightning filled the air, walls of fire everywhere..." An unusual anti-war song, about nano-robotic warfare - the silent killing things.
Ten To Four Ten To Four
Another love lost song, rythmic fingerpicking and heavy bass. "Awaking in a cold sweat, the air is black and wet..."
Old Man In Bus Station: A Portrait Old Man In Bus Station: A Portrait
Old age and unfulfilled dreams, in 3/4 time.
You On My Mind You On My Mind
'...I love you less but need you more, this makes me a little insane.' Spacy acoustic folk-rock, some say it fell off the White Album.

This page has songs written by Dan, who played 12 and 6 string guitar, banjo, and keyboard. David played bass guitar and drum machine. Dan sang lead vocals, both shared the harmony, and David produced/engineered.

Dan and David Raymer are real brothers hailing from Los Angeles, California. They are sons of a Navy Test pilot who gave up violin at the age of 6, and an English teacher whose father played trumpet with the Dorsey Brothers and Harry James. Dan and David and three more Raymer brothers grew up playing music - instead of hand-me-down clothes it was hand-me-down guitars. Instead of fighting over chores we fought over chords. We're still at it.Have you performed in front of an audience?We played for several years at Common Grounds in Northridge, California - an excellent but now defunct student hangout. We've separately been in various bands over the years, but enjoy playing together because we know each other like, well, brothers.
