A little obsessed with you

Written In 1982
Piano/Vocal Recorded 'Live' 
In A Studio In The Valley
(Note - Facts Only As Good As My Memory)

My Childhood Friend, Richard Meyer 
Worked For "Fast-Folk" Magazine
Which Was 'Thee' 1970s Folk Music Magazine 
But Was Limping Along In The 80's 
Keeping Track Of The Greenwich Village Folk-Scene
And Had A Certain Cache In The Folk World
At Year's End, The Magazine Provided 
A Compilation Of Newly Recorded Songs 
For Magazine Subscribers
Which Were Basically... Compilations Of People & Songs 
Richard Loved - He Was The First To Record Suzanne Vega 
& Countless Others - Sadly Richard Died 
Over A Decade Or So Ago Of Parkinsons 
But Was Quite Brilliant In The Late 90s
To See The Internet Coming & The Need
To Get The Smithsonian Involved  
To Preserve HIS Fast-Folk Recordings
In the 21'st Century 
-------
As I Recall The Session Happened Around 1987 
Richard Was Putting Together A West Coast Fast-Folk Record
And I Believe Richard Had Asked Me To Play 'The Goodyears'
I Showed-Up With Deborah Holland To Sing The Harmony
We Found A Stand-Up Bass Player
Denny Croy & Recorded Goodyears 
After That 
Richard Asked Me To Hang-Out & 
Do Another Tune Later  
That Turn Out To Be This - Love Calling 
Which Had Been His Favorite Goldman Song
And Even I Was Shocked That The First Pass 
At This Four-Minute Piano-Thumper
Went So Well - I Was Vamping At The End 
For What Seemed Like Forever 
When I Looked-Up To The Control Room & 
Saw Richard Who Was Far From A Demonstrative Person
Standing Behind The Board Dancing & Waving For Me
To Keep Playing... 
Later I Had Said To Him... 'This Isn't A Folk Song'
He Whispered Back 'It's My Favorite Song Ever...'
It Appeared On Fast-Folk's Last Record 
"Lost In The Works"  Released In 1989?ish

LOVE CALLING

There She Stood Like 
Something’s On Her Mind Like 
What’s A Girl To Do
She’s Usually Shy But
When She Caught Your Eye She 
Had To Speak To You 
You Look So Familiar 
Like Someone She Once Knew
But He’s Gone & No One Can
Take His Place
And You Seem To Have 
A Familiar Face
I Hear Love Calling  
I Hear Love Calling 
I Hear Love Calling 
But It Could Be The Hillside Strangler
Love Calling  
Love Calling

What’s His Problem She
Wonders Out Loud He
Seems To Be So Cool
Is He One-In-A-Million Or
An Innocent Civilian Or
Just Your Basic Fool
Is He The Exception
Or Is He Just The Rule
But He’s Gone & No One Can 
Take His Place
And You Just Have 
A Familiar Face
I Hear Love Calling  
I Hear Love Calling 
I Hear Love Calling 
But It Could Be The Hillside Strangler
Love Calling – I Hear Love Calling
