Album Notes

Like everyone, there could be a bio a mile long of this and that, anyway... a few things about us... Will used to stick his big tooth in my head when I was younger and that's when I learned to scream real loud- now I try to sing of course. Although I don't remember it, members of Hot Tuna, Jefferson Airplane, Greatful Dead, Janis Joplin, etc. would come into my folks antique store, "Dr. Caligari's Cabinet" hunting for kewl clever old things. Chet Helms was our god parent- rip. Will always had to watch over his little brother-me, all down the line, from the boys club on 16th and Guerrero, to handing me my transfer for the old green trollies- oh the J church I think it was, to showing me the KDIA soul station, then the rock stuff to follow- I ended up writing the songs though- oddly enough? It's weird how things turn out. Sometimes I regret throwing in the towel with our record deal feeling guilty that Will had to give up his dream too but Hitwall would not have been built and we truly would have been stuck playing music everyone likes except for us. Now we play music no one like but us. heh heh.

This album has had a long incubation (recorded 3 separate times as a two piece starting in 2000)
