lyrics

you're a footstep away you're without reason today you're keeping time with yourself you cry out for nobody else a heartbeat a footstep is nothing to gain the fears chase and you erase the pain I see the bars in your eyes the ones that you can't get behind your blank stares are an open book but the pages tear with each look your vacancy and hesitance are your armory the windows locked and you're stuck and out to sea the die is cast you can't get past the separation

about

My first solo venture was this 1989 very limited release cassette of 4-track recordings. I don't remember how many copies got made, certainly less than fifty possibly closer to half that. This stuff wasn't initially done with the intent for release but as sketches of songs for possible use by the band, songwriting experiments or just messing around. For reasons I don't recall I decided to put out a cassette. This is that cassette with 9 extra tracks of the same vintage.

*The audio is fairly haphazard due to my lack of experience and expertise in recording, dropouts and other audio imperfections are present due to that and the precarious state of the cassette master sources.

Big thanks to Kathy Molloy and Jeff Cellers for helping me put this together as I have lost the majority of my tapes over the years.
