This past week I dug up some old demos, and today I compiled a cassette of ten songs I had completely forgotten about, some of them for good reason. The titles and stories are: 1. He Listens to His Heart ~ Probably written in New Orleans but recorded in Austin sometime after 1994 and before 1996. Just a straight-ahead country song. 2. Highway Prayer ~ Recorded in a big house on Bayou St. John where I lived with Red Priest. Paul Henehan played drums, I am not sure but I think I played the bass line on the keyboard, and Tommy Malone played guitar and sang ethereal harmony. I'd like to record it again since my voice doesn't sound very good--but it would have to be with the same people and a real bass player. Probably the one I married :D. 3. Take Time to Know Her Way ~ All I remember is that I wrote this for a dear friend who was musing aloud about how his daughter would eventually feel about him since he was in the process of divorcing her mother. So the song is my advice since I was once that little girl. 4. Go and Tell Your Woman ~ Um,absolutely no idea where this came from. A country blues in three. It is perhaps worth working up with the country band. 5. Forget about Annabelle ~ More advice to a male friend who was very confused. How unusual. 6. This is Your Time ~ I barely remember this but I seems to be about drinking and playing loud music in the face of a tragic world and personal situation. Are my songs ever about anything else?? 7. Tell me What You See ~ Just really too sad to talk about. It brought everything back about someone I will always miss. Life is really really long,no? But life is good now. 8. Love is a Lonely Thing ~ ca. 1989. Apparently this one is about David Duke. 9. Like A Diamond ~ Country Western; must've been in my Joe Ely imitation period. And...maybe Butch Hancock too. Because it's long and has a swagger.
