Farthest Disappointment #110 & 114 (Demo)
'Farthest' and 'Disappointment' were two songs that were written on the same day. The two songs were merged on January 7, 1998 after over 15 years of separation.
Elisha Zaporelostzi's first performances were the Open Stages put on by the Bytown Live in Ottawa Ontario, Canada. It is how Neil Young and Joni Mitchell started.
Phreap magazine is a one page thing that went around Ottawa in the 1980s. Now it is a web site;

With the help of Joe-Charly Smith, Molly Ding, Calhoon-Fred Febealie, and Butter Jones I was able to put out Phreap magazine.
Story behind the song
'Farthest' and 'Disappointment' were two songs (from my 4th set of songs) that were written on the same day.
'Farthest' was the better song and so it was hidden away and no one ever heard it.
'Disappointment' was lousy and early on I put music to it and started playing it all over.
It was one of my "You Wont Like Most Of It Tape" songs, my first collection of songs (10) that I tried to market. All 10 songs appeared in Phreap Magazine. 'Disappointment' was played at the "Hoot" in the Jack Percel Community Center in Ottawa, on Dec. 8, 1985.
Here is a list of 'Disappointment' recordings and live performances;

Played live on December 8, 1985 at my 'Hoot 15' at the Jack Percel Community Center in Ottawa - Tape 86
The two songs were merged on January 7, 1998 (after an over 15 year separation). Music was put to 'Farthest' on January 7, 2000 together with 'Disappointment'. (also written & typed Feb. 26, 2000, & corrected March 1, 2000.)
I made an attempt to recorded it on March 4, 2000 with Ryuji Fujiwara but my 4 track cassette recorder gave out and we did not get much.
This 'Farthest Disappointment (Demo)' was recorded on July 31, 2004 on 2 tracks from on my old Roland VS-840EX 8 track (- where 4 other songs were recorded). I play guitar and sing at the same time and that is why I call it a 'Demo'. I have just added two tracks of keyboard bass on March 21, 2013. It was mixed onto computer on Monday April 8th and Reverb was thrown on Friday April 12, 2013.
And that is why Gill Vinaux sings 'Mon Chassan se ne pas mon Chassan se mon Vie' - sorry about my French.
Lyrics
Disappointment /Farthest
by Patrick T. Connolly
D / G / D / A7 / D
4/4 time 1. How far can we be away from one an - other?
2. It wouldn't be so hard for two.
2. It wouldn't be so hard for two.
/A7 /D
The telephone could ring us in any time,
Two can work it out in half the time,
Two can work it out in half the time,
/ 3/4 F#m / Bm / Em /4/4 A7
But I can't say it and you can't say it. and We can't say anything in-timate.
You can't say it and neither can I say it, So that's why I say it
The distance was to far a distance of ourselves. We couldn't make par
/ D / G 3rd fret / D / G
Oh I could get to your door in an hour or more And I could be with you on your floor.
and we are out the farthest. Yes. we couldn't be farther from a harvest.
and we are out the farthest. Yes. we couldn't be farther from a harvest.
/A7 /D / G
But now I can ascertain the dis - tance is great. Its too late.
How far can we get? When we get things set and we never met.
We still keep our lives on shelves.The farthest distance is in ourselves.
D / Ddim /D / Ddim
- - - - - - - - - - - You mist the ap - pointment.
Now where will you be and where will I see you
Now how are they going to laugh and what are they going to say
D / Ddim /A9? FM7+d? /A9? FM7+d? /
Now Ive gone for an ointment. disappointment, disappointment,
When Im getting ointment from my disappointment, disappointment,
When they see me, in my disappointment, disappointment.
G7 Bb d bass? / G7 Bb d bass? /
Yea We made a deal that Id be left to make no ap - peal,
Who you going to be with and whats going to be your riff
Yes now I didnt feel, that Id be left to make an ap - peal,
No chord b b b b g / f# f# e e / f# f# e e /
- - - - - - - from a disappointment, disappointment.
When Im suffering from my disappointment, disappointment,
For our next appointment: appointment.
