A song from GG & TG
Gye Greene has graciously allowed me to blog about some of our older songs, two which he discovered some still-valid links. (This also saves himself the time to introduce them.)
Which to link to first? We have four available. Perhaps the most meloncholy first...
This one is called ''Psych Smile.'' GG wrote this back in college, about a girl in his Psych class. A very nice, smiley girl -- but one whom he knew deep down was not the ''right'' girl for him. But still...
The instrumentation is intentionally kept simple. It's a bit of a musical haiku, really -- not verse, no chorus -- just one short paragraph.

I like this whole "musical haiku" idea. I wish more bands would realize that not every song has to be a 3:30 long intro-verse-chorus-verse-chorus-bridge-verse-chorus-outro affair. That's one reason I like The Who...thinking outside the box now & then.
Overall, it has a Jonathan Richman sort of vibe (the live band that was in There's Something About Mary).
Who's on vocals? Who's on guitar? What's on second?
-K.
Ditto. I liked the ending.
Thx! :) (Thx, too, to TG for taking care of.)
It's me (GG) on everything. I think it's an electric guitar, DI into a 4-track. But TG hit ''record'' and ''stop'', I believe. ;)
IIRC, this is the second song I wrote after buying my electric guitar during college (which caused me to abandon my alto recorder). There's a bunch of A's, D's, and E's in there -- no weird, fancy chords. ;)

Wow, you know, I had almost forgotten that you were a musician...
It's been too long ^_^;;

...which is funny, since JF was (for about a week?) in the band with my cousin and my roommate.
As well as one of my (IMO) better songs, modeled after her unique mannerisms. ;)
