Caitlin Toom

2 Hands, 6 Strings.  Gets exciting halfway through.   Working on Rythym and Tone, and the "right amount" of metronomic accuracy.   Influenced by middle-eastern drumming, but on the guitar itself.

Promo Song

"Blues My Naughty Sweetie Gives To Me" 
Music by Charles McCarron, Casey Morgan and Arthur Swanstrom

Recorded live at VCC Auditorium in Vancouver, BC.

This one's from 1919. From what I know, the original lyric was much longer by numerous verses but I think what we wound up with in our permanent performance arrangement had just the right amount of punch. It always did grow in live performances, as though with a mind of its own.

This is a part of a recent demo of mine from early March, 2013 - brand new and fresh off the press.

We daydreamers owe this beautiful and melancholy melody to Cy Coleman, one of the classiest tux-adorned men to touch the keys. I have heard a couple lovely renditions - notably those of Fiona Apple and Frank Sinatra - and couldn't resist taking my own shot when I fell in love with Joseph Allan McCarthy's beautiful poetry.

"I'm sentimental, so I walk in the rain
I've got some habits even I can't explain
Could start for the corner, turn up in Spain
But why try to change me now?
 
I sit and daydream, I've got daydreams galore
Cigarette ashes, there they go on the floor
I'll go away weekends, leave my keys in the door
But why try to change me now?
 
Why can't I be more conventional?
People talk, people stare, so I try
But that's not for me, 'cause I can't see
My kind of crazy world go passing me by
 
So, let people wonder, let 'em laugh, let 'em frown
You know I'll love you till the moon's upside down
Don't you remember I was always your clown?
Why try to change me now?"

"Why Try To Change Me Now"

"Some of These Days" 
Music by Shelton Brooks

Recorded live at Ouisi Bistro (www.ouisibistro.com) in Vancouver, BC.

Made famous by Sophie Tucker in 1909, this is "Some of These Days", a bittersweet song about a lover choking out their final goodbyes in parting: "you'll be so lonely just thinking of me only for you'll know, honey, that you've had your way."
