The music available here is a mix of studio and home demo recording. The demo tracks are of, shall we say, uneven sound quality, but have their own charms nonetheless. Thanks for checking them all out.

Story behind the song
One of three songs I've written from the book "Nine Stories" by J D Salinger. If he were alive, he would probably sue me.
Lyrics
Muriel sits with the psychologist While I play piano at the bar. They wonder if I'm crazy, And I crashed her daddy's car. And my current incarnation has gone a bit too far. They put me on the radio; They sent me off to war. Everyone makes me so happy I just can't take it anymore. I've got it in my suitcase; That's what I brought it for. And it'sa perfect day. It's a perfect day for bananafish. And how I wish everyone could know The little girl in the ocean Who trusted me and said "Don't let go!" I sent Muriel poems from Germany; I don't think she ever cared. So goodbye, Miss Spiritual Tramp. I'm glad I left you standing there. The woman in the elevator Who said she didn't mean to stare. So greetings from Florida. I leave you this haiku. Muriel's goa s sunburn, and banana fever, too. And I don't need a lot of fools looking at my tattoo. And it's a perfect day. It's a perfect day for bananafish, And how I wish everyone could know The little girl on the plane Who turned her doll's head around to look at me. I've got it in my suitcase; That's what I brought it for.
