I saw EC do this at Santa Barbara County Bowl, then two night later, Universal Studios in LA on the Punch The Clock tour.. He knocked the ball out of the park both nights.
Thanks for posting all these...I truly love Punch the Clock...I know it doesn't get much love - can't understand why. Maybe the melodies are a bit too complex for some...I dunno.
No problem. My honor entirely. Thank to Universal Music Group for letting them stay up. They yanked 'Satellite' but I cheesed that and I would have yanked it too. :)
have you, by any chance, heard the early demo version of this, its just guitar and his voice, it quite good, i personally think its better than the recorded song, you should check on it....
Tony, you are hitting on all cylinders with your picks...Riot Act, Party Girl, etc. Great job. Chemistry Class and New Lace Sleeves are two others with exceptional lyrics also - hey they are all good. "Trying to make a silk purse out of a sows arse" - I have had that relationship. What a great play on the phrase. Thanks!

Heya, Char!
This is about two or three girls of the girls I was with during the Castle Rock-College years. I bet you can guess at least one of them. :)
Don't name her here though. :)
