Sounds Like
In The Truest Sense Of The Words, In Loving Memory, Of My Beautiful, Beautiful, "Belle" And My Best Buddy Ever, "Scruffy", (Both Of Whom I "Lost" This Past Winter)... I Dedicate All That Remains. They Were Both So Much More Than Most Can Even Begin To Imagine...
And Now I Add My Dear "Big Boy". I Literally "Delivered" Him On A Hot Summer Night In New Orleans 16 Years Ago..."I" Was The First Living Thing He Ever Saw As He Slid Forth Into This Life...Today, On An Otherwise Beautiful, Clear Spring Afternoon In The Hills Of Tennessee, I Cradled Him In My Arms And I Became The "Last" Living Thing He Saw As He Slipped Quietly Off To Join His Old Friends...

The First Song On The Player Might Be A Bit Out Of Character For This Page, It's An Instrumental I Wrote For The Soundtrack Of An Independent Film About Six Years Ago, But It Makes A Nice Background Piece For "Browsing"...It's Titled, Rights Of Spring, (No, That's Not A Misspelling, Think About It...).
The Second Song On The Player Is A Newer One, It's Called, She Said. It's Just A Little Ditty...Call It A Songwriter's Lament.
The Third Song On The Player Was Just Added On April Fool's Day And...Well, What Can Be Said About UnFuck You That It Doesn't Simply Say About Itself? (However, Tell Me You Haven't Been There...)
The Fourth Song On The Player I Just Added Because I Could, It's Called The Moment She's Gone. It's Actually An Old Song ('89) From The Days Of My Band, Davis Deluxe. It's Also One Of The Last Recordings Done With My Old Friends And Bandmates, The Late, Kenny Buttrey On Drums, Steve Carmen On Bass And Bucky Barrett On Lead Guitar.
The Last Song On The Player, Somewhere Down The Line Was Added Originally So The Player Could Be Installed On The Page. It Is Not A New Tune, In Fact It Is A Pretty Old One, Circa 1975 Or Thereabouts. The Recording Is A Live Version Of It Done Sometime In 1977. It Will Be Removed As The New Material Is Added. For The New Kids On The Block...That Foreign Sound You Hear At The Beginning Of It Is What Was Once Affectionately Referred To As, Tape Hiss.
