I finished another demo for Rian to hear.  ("Won’t Call".) I promised him I’d try to do twelve songs by the time he gets back in town later this week.  So three is kinda pathetic, but it’s somewhat better than two, and it’s a lot better than one, and much much better than none!  Besides, I have more in the hopper, and thirty-someodd older songs too.  I should be okay as long as I keep kickin’ out a new one every week or two.  I just realized this new one took me TEN years to finish!  The verses are from around 1993, jeez…!!  Just laying around 90% finished, and I finally massaged it into something that would work. I played it for John, he liked it.  It’s a spooky love dirge, not the Patience and Prudence-y song I talked about before.  I had to lay off from that one ‘cuz I just couldn’t get it happening right.  It was too lollipop so I tried to go the other way and make the lyrics more evil, but that didn’t work either.  It has a cool chorus… it’s almost there, I just have to figure out something that’ll lessen the treacle factor for the verses.  Maybe go more jazzy with it.

Update: I looked it up in my notebook; the page-of-words is dated 8/16/1995. But I’m pretty sure it all STARTED around ‘93, so whatever.  It was awhile!
