1-16-23 Beck's Bolero 16

A home recording done in 1995. Cliff and I wrote and sang this track together. Cliff plays harmonica and drum machine. I play piano, guitar, and bass. Ned Babb on mandolin. Post-production was engineered by John Pavletic.

The Formative Years 2 - 19 - 23 With Mandolin

Another song from the home recordings Cliff and I did in the 90s. Cliff on drums I take care of the rest. We sing the backup parts together and had a lot of fun being chicks!
Mastered byJohn Pavletic.

Shoop Shoop Song 7 - 24 - 23

Call To Me Carrie
Mick and I wrote this wistful song about eight years ago. It was one of the last things we had a chance to work on together. The production, which features an accordion, is almost folk-like. Very different from most of the material we wrote together.
I started reworking the song at the end of the summer of 2023. The very talented Ned Babb graciously added
his Gibson F4 and the extraordinary John Pavletic engineered and mixed the track.
I was imagining a nostalgic story about a salt-of-the-earth guy who feels a little beaten down by life. Freedom, his girl, and a pint are his only aspirations. But despite his troubles, he has a bit of hope.
Lyrics
Call to me Carrie
Don’t you know
It all works out in the end Drinks are free
Car don’t run
Don’t you wanna be with me Don’t you wanna be with me Met you on the road
Right you are again
Walking with the sun behind me Wind is in your face
Arm around your waist
Thought you’d like to know What I’m thinking

Good Morning Little Schoolgirl

Sometimes..the best arrangements/sounds/playing come when you least expect it, when you aren't THINKING so much..when a channel on the board is switched off, when the engineer fell asleep at the wheel... Here's something from a few years back, recorded live. Was the bass so loud  that  it didn't get in the mix? What is the beginning all about? Who can't reach the microphone? Though this song has been around a while, maybe..this is the best version..enjoy.

EARLY (1972) Pez demo-you know this Kinks tune.

Can't You See (Demo/1972)

In spite of being dropped from their label (which was soon to fold in on itself), the reformed Pezband  trio  of  1981/82 was active- writing, demoing and playing shows. Here's a living room demo from the Fall of 1981, recorded on Mimi's 4 track Teac. Analog, rough "mix' ,etc but you'll get it. This is how bands did it before computers..
