She Might Look My Way (Tommy Hoehn/Alex Chilton Cover)

I just found this in my itunes and can't really remember when, where or with whom I recorded this. I'm guessing it's something that got left off of my covers CD Stars After Stars After Stars. Possibly Mark Spencer on Guitars and steels and keys, Brian Doherty on Drums and George Rush on bass?

Lead vocal seems to be a guide/reference, not a final vocal.


Ask Me No Questions (Johnny Thunders Cover)

Demo of a song with words by George Usher and music by Spike Priggen. George lived down the hall from me on Delancey Street when we wrote this, funnily enough. 

Recorded by Adam Lasus at the Old School Studio Red in Philly. In the basement. Sounds like me on bass, Kevin Salem on guitars, Doug Wygal on drums. George is singing the high harmony.
