A Graça do Rio

The False Knight on the Road (Traditional)

Mandolin and Tin Whistle Song

This is an instrumental version of Fire on the Mountain (the Grateful Dead version, not the bluegrass one). I like to imagine it's what it would have sounded like if Jerry had joined Kraftwerk.

Fire

From the deep past; 1987 to be precise. Recorded live from The Lab, somewhere on Divisadero Street in San Francisco. The "libretto" was as follows: "Before the opera begins, Don Parnaldo is engaged in a circuitous conversation with his friend from work, wherein they are discussing, in terms sometimes awkwardly self-referential, the nature of human interaction in and out of the work environment.

He then takes leave of his friend, and resolves never again to engage in human discourse. He walks out of the town, and up into the mountains. As the opera begins, he falls to wanton anthropomorphism: The birds, with their flitty and sing-song nature, seem to be mocking humanity, while the bugs, with their apparent sense of gravity and purpose, seem to be disdaining it.

Presently his eyes fall upon a little snail, and in particular, on its tentacles, gently receiving vibrations from the air. "What would happen," he thought, "If I were to sing directly on top of its tentacles, with all the volume I can muster? Could it hear those frequencies? But still, you can't just ignore a being more than 1,000 times your size, who is singing directly at you, or can you?"

I may re-digitize this at a stronger level. Also if I can I'll dig up my notes on all the wonderful people involved.

I was just a child.
Didn't know what I was doing.
I was just a child looking up.
Didn't know what I was doing.
Mama don't leave me all alone.
Mama don't leave me uncontrolled.
Mama don't leave me all alone.
Mama don't lead me on, don't lead me on.
I was just a child.
Rockabye was milk spilled on the ground.
I was just a child looking up.
Didn't know what I was doing, I.
Mama don't leave me all alone.
Mama don't leave me uncontrolled.
Mama don't leave me all alone.
Mama don't lead me on, don't lead me on.
Creepy crawlies wherever you are.
Creepy creepy crawlies in your closet door.
Creepy crawlies wherever you are.
You're such a creepy creepy creepy creepy creepy creepy creepy creepy.
I was just a child.
Didn't know about milk spilled on the ground.
I was just a child looking up.
Didn't know what I was doing, I.
Mama, don't leave me all alone.

Mama, No!!!

I’ve written dozens of songs, and I’ve been carrying them around with me over the years, in various states of completion. Talk about baggage! Wavy Dice is my attempt to “finish” these songs, or at least share them. Currently Wavy Dice is me, my friends, a few robots, and a bunch of home recording equipment, but our numbers are growing every day.

For more, or even less information, see the links above.
