Quiet Conversations - Blue Movie (2013)

An obscure Blue Movie song that Rich and I recorded in the summer of 2007 when he came to the Bay Area for a visit. I kind of put him up to it. I think I am the only person who remembers or likes this song. Rich sings lead and I do the rest. I''m not a great guitarist or keyboard player, but it's the *feeling*, man. It's lo-fi!
