this is a 2 parter. in the first part (which i'll post later), i am longing for my wife (at the time, an interesting friend) to leave the east coast and return to California.

The Dead Kennedys sang about Cali too. Hey Michael, You have a really good voice. Your songs (this one in particular) are well produced, yet you have this slightly relaxed singing style (meaning you sound like yer stoned, dude, like totally..... just kidding). I really like the backing vocals and the stoner shaker you used to accompany your smoking one armed drummer. All kidding aside, I can't wait for part one so I can play the two parts out of order.

Are you still in California?

Your east coast friend,

Bob

only one who noticed that scott had played that drum part with 1 arm while he shook the shaker. i had actually forgot until you just said that. thanks for the compliments, although i haven't been stoned in so long, I think that Cobains body was still warm.

Great vibe and production &mdash 04/20/07 - 01:26:51 PM
really like the sound of your voice and the simple arrangement - a little like early Beck - but better. Great lyrics - bring on the other part.
