Rick Cautela is The Rock and Roll Reverend from THE Alrosa Villa in Columbus, OH. I've been fortunate to perform on his stage many times over the years and this place was the undisputed home for great and local rock and roll. National acts, local acts, we played, we attended, and we respected Rick.

The original demo for The Keyboard Song and Wal's White Elephant Party. The keyboard has been handed back and forth since 1999 and this is an homage to The Gift. And besides, it's an automatic invite to next year....copyright pending

The Keyboard Song (Demo Version)

The Keyboard Song (Demo)

Although not an audition, this was one of the gateway projects that Todd and I collaborated on which eventually led to us joining forces in Bad Idea Cocktail. In a moment of doubt about the song, Todd came over to throw a couple of tracks down, even going so far as to rewrite the lyrics. We eventually opted to stay with the melody and words as we had them for Stare North's Discourse album, but this just really makes me grin. I appreciate that Grehs even let me give him direction on how to sing the chorus in two voice. Please note the vocal compression is the reason for 'The Todd Line'.... thanks Grehs!!
