This song I wrote around the same time as “Lila” from this set of songs and “Farewell To Reason” from the Tangerine EP. I remember clearly sitting in the Hippodrome Building on 6th Avenue in NYC reading an article about American Indians and their view of given names such as “Sitting Bull” or “Dances with Wolves”. I tried several times to capture the feel of this song as it was in my head. I finally have in the recorded version on Gurleyville. 

Upon release I pitched this song to Spotify to have it added to a playlist so someone might actually hear it.... they asked for a description of the song and this is what I told them...

“This song is a first person account of a highly charged, passionate, ill-fated relationship filled with good humor and bad feelings, doomed to burn out, not fade away. Ingredients.... one pound of jokes, two broken hearts, some sugar, a pinch of salt, world class horn player and time. Directions... Violently stir. Leave on shelf for 20 years. Record.”

Every story needs a story.
