@weatheroutpost12 I remember speaking with you about Sally Go 'Round The Roses, about how the original has an eerie quality (reverb?) and I really like what you did to it here. I'd be very happy to see/hear/play with you again!

@headstrongartscience How can i contact you....I'd like to hook you up to session w/ the kid piano player I'm working with now....he's already won 2 downbeat awards & an ASCAP Award...& already met Jonny. Lots of ideas in the air. A

I was ambivalent during the first 2 minutes, but then it just bursts wide open. The end leaves me wanting to hear it all over again. Nice job.

I like the tempo alteration. Quite a cool and mellow interpretation of a classic tune.

Sadly, I couldn't find much of anything on Sophie & the Abusers. No releases?

[weatheroutpost12]

um...only 'basement' tapes...however got a second version of S&tA ( Pierre / no Paco ) down to the CAT CLUB,NYC in front of 7 interested Majors...

um.....so&when i walked into the BigBoyz office w/ a lawyer (because BANDS were getting fkd over bigtime back then)...um....it was all over....o-fkng-well....@ least I OWN my songs!!
