Words & Music by

     This is the second volume of the Sketches I began in 1984. Not much had changed. I was still recording with the same hardware and cassette tape,

but I do remember getting a Sennheiser mic for vocals. Ultimately, the idea was

to birth the songs, even in their sonic squalor, that they might breathe and live.

     They obviously survived, but I meant

to re-record these songs again at a

future time with pristine equipment. And

I would work more meticulously to make them perfect. Talk about naivety.

Life has a way of throwing us curves.

Later, at some point, Joe stopped coming over, and I started singing all the parts.
