Summer Grass- I didn’t originally intend for this to be the title track, but since most, though not all, of the songs on this album sound like summer to me, I decided, why not? The guitar even sounds humid and warm, but in that nice July way…

This Lovin’ Cup- I was watching the idiot box and just holding my guitar when this little vamp on a B chord came out of nowhere. Using the same recorder, I recorded about 20 seconds of the riff. The lyrical idea came on the trip to Chicago, while…

Matter Of Fate- This song started as a riff I was doing while tuning my guitar. It sounded cool, so I happened to record it on a small dictation recorder I have so I wouldn’t forget it. When I listened to the riff it just screamed Sticky Fingers…

We all know someone like this. Sometimes I'm like this. Anyway, recorded using my Epiphone semi-hollowbody. I love the gtr sound on this one. Again, it's older, so the sonic quality isn't anywhere near what I do now.

Like this 'un. Very Tragically Hip if you don't mind the comparison.

Hold On- Ok, this one is really hard. Not in a rock sense, but other ways. Musically, this song really dances on the line of schmaltz, and a few times, trips over it. I had a hard time singing some of the lines, since I don’t have a pretty voice…

Reminds me of You Never Give Me Your Money from Abbey Road. Excellent.

Great tune, Gary. Reminds me a bit of the Boo Radleys. Vocals are really nice, wouldn't know you struggled with any of it if you hadn't said. And personally I don't detect an ounce of schmaltz!

This song is really great, Gary. Underestimated, I should say. Excellent work!

Very cool! Yes, Stones-ish but "happier" than most of their stuff. Nice slide part too.

Love the vocal harmonies on this track, and the guitar riff as well ( no, it is not stones, it is more enjoyable)

Derivative- This one was not supposed to be on the album, but I changed my mind and worked on it. The reason for the intended omission was because the riff, which I have been playing with for a few months, just sounded so derivative of Dear Prudence…
