koganbotHa! I have no memory whatsoever of recording this. I like it. I'm guessing it was 1985, which would confirm my hypothesis that my singing got a lot better during the year after Stars Vomit Coffee Shop. Had assumed my singing voice would forever be intolerable to me, but this is not always the case. I like how my guitar only partially accommodates the melody, so there's a kind of zinging tightrope wire of tension between rhythm chords and the prettiness. Keeps the thing alive 31 years later.
I suspect this track was solicited by Al Margolis, but it might have been someone else and Al was the person who put it out.

This is great, Frank!

Or at least produce better digital rips than I've been able to achieve from my own copies! SVCS remains one of my all-time favorite 'albums.'
