Alexander "Skip" Spence - Little Hands (from "Oar")

Who played guitar? Who played drums? Who sang harmony? Who was the engineer? Who was the producer? Who wrote the songs? Who bought this record besides my slightly older brother?

Skip was the original drummer for both the Jefferson Airplane and Moby Grape, and oddly enough, wasn't even an actual drummer when he started. His career ended early due to various reasons, but not before he put out an absolutely classic solo album. The American Syd Barrett.

Wow what a wonderful song. Real lyrics, real music. From an insane man no less. Imagine that. See what music can be when producers, marketers, and so on are cut out of the equation.....

@TheDumpbin more Unsane and understated than in'sane or n'sync.

I love this song. A little extra polish and it would be a timeless anthem EVERYONE could love. As it is, it's still a cult song. But a beautiful one.

@authorvictim

i love these songs because they're like dirty pearls, waiting for someone to polish them with his ears...you don't need no remastering and other stuff like that ;)

[oatstao]

@authorvictim extra polish? this isn't a freaking "Pledge lemon scent" commercial, this is wasted soul . DOn't fuck with it.

[GeorgieWise]

@MultiStats I have always favored Lawrence from Euphoria, along with this one and now I have to go and listen to it again for the first time in forty years. Wish me luck.
