From our new series of tunes: Toys Gone Wild! Dave, Vance and me again.
Kinda Fagen meets Acoustic Alchemy meets Mancini. Yeah, it's a mouthful
A cool little tune written by my old friend Peter Skylstad. He handed the guitar and vocals on this.
For my Mother who wishes I still wrote pretty music.
Pete Skylstad vox and guitar, Dave Daniel Bass, Me screwing everything else up.
Cowjazz! JD Barnham on vocals, Doug Richburg on demented backup scats, and moi on the rest of the backup vox and sequences.
This is from a time period that was simultaneously one of the best and worst. I was writing furiously, sometimes 3 or 4 tunes a day from start to recorded finish. Of course, not many of them made sense. This is one of the nonsensical ones!
Your task it is, amid confusion, rush, and noise, to grasp the lasting, calm and meaningful, and finding it anew, to hold and treasure it. Paul Hindemith
I wrote this about 2 decades ago for Vicki. Dave, Vance and I recorded it in Dave's living room that same day. This song, like Vicki, always makes me smile.
Dave, Vance and I don our trenchcoats and enter the city that keeps it's secrets.
