Live at The Mercury Lounge with the Jeremy Chatzky, Steve Calhoon (Skeleton Key) and Sean Eden (LUNA). Starts  dealing with a heckler.

Drunk on Wild Turkey & soda (which when combined with various allergy meds made me "shouty")  Trying to sound like a mix of Willie Nelson and Sam Cooke. Turned out more like Judd Nelson and Sam Kinison.

Does the Bitter Moon really care about how dark it gets?  (Drunken Mercury Lounge July 20, 2006)

Recorded at CBGB's Gallery some point in the late 90's ??????

I'm Learning About Sports (Bango)

I'm learning about sports
I'm learning how to talk the language
and God knows that I need a language to talk with
I'm learning about sports
I’m putting names with their corresponding numbers
and God knows that I’m getting number and number

go ask Charlie, he always knows what the score is
go ask Charlie why his wife’s always snoring
well, he’s got a TV the size of Milwaukee that’s almost just like being there
the difference between boys and men is the size of their easy chair.

I’m learning about sports
I’m turning my back on this world we’re living in
I got a new pair of sneakers and a clean pair of shorts
go get the beer then you can swear me in, swear me in

I’ve tried, Ive tried to carry on a decent conversation
I’ve tried, I’ve tried but all it ever leads to is frustration
I’d rather use my memory for something more than numbers and get to know the strangers that I meet but all it ever leads to is the agony of defeat.

I’m learning about sports.
I’m putting names to their corresponding numbers
and God knows that I’m getting number and number
and the girl at the office knows that I’m getting number and number 
and the mayor of Hoboken knows that I’m getting number and number
and the chief of police knows that I’m getting number and number
and the president of the united states knows that I’m getting number and number
And Olgilvy and Mather knows that I’m getting number and number 
and the head of the CIA knows that I’m getting number and number
and GOD knows that I’m getting number and number
