Artist picture
Electronica with an ambient/dance jazz flavor.
Primarily I'm a jazz vocalist who performs around Los Angeles. I love to scat, and contribute to others original music as I develop my own style and voice.

Story behind the song
It was written about a neighbor I used to watch when I lived in Venice, CA. many years ago.
Lyrics
Back Into Black and White Arms Copyright-Mary McGrath All rights reserved Tonight, I met her in a gray room, Her black box blaring out That White noise, Static while she stares Eyes ablaze At stations that never cease… It another evening of slogans Recited under her breath, The tune so sour, That it curdles the air- Still she sits, Mouth agape With things to buy, And who’s done what to whom. What station shall it be tonight? Holding hands with the remote control, She dials for someone To suit her needs- Every night losing Herself to the set, Until 8 o’clock comes Tomorrow night And she throws herself Back into black and white arms. Mary McGrath 1978?
