Greasy Kid Stuff

Well.... Everybody has to start somewhere.  Here are some early demos of songs that I used to play in coffeehouses in college.  I literally found these on cassette tapes in a box in my attic and transferred them off an old SONY Walkman, which I guess is fitting given the age of the material.  As a result of the ancient tapes and dodgy transfer, the quality is a bit lacking,  but I thought I would post the songs here for any old college friends who might remember hearing me play these back in the day.   Most of this material was written and recorded when I was between the ages of about 19 and 20.   Interestingly, there is a first version of 'Dear Sweet Loraine' before I re-wrote it for the band, Yucca Flats.  The Yucca Flats version sounds like a response to the naivety of the first version, so you can hear some growth there.  I find it  a little weird listening back to these early recordings- kind of like reading an old journal out loud.  If you've stumbled across this, you should probably listen to it now, before I change my mind and take it down :)
