This was recorded on an old cassette 4-track using a Carvin preamp and a couple of cheap Realistic microphones. Warning: I tried to sing.

The verses in this song alternate being about my best friend when I was a little kid, and my best friend at the time I wrote it. I thought it was brave and artsy at the time. Then I grew up. :)

This is here for me.

I was drinking one night -- that's how most of my stories start -- thinking about somebody I used to love. This is raw, no effects, recorded on a single mic.
