(Take 1) The Recycled Blues (original lyrics version 1)

Recorded around October 1986 (I am guessing that date because my basic training started August 1986 and then in the song I sing "I start Russian November tenth, ..."). I was enrolled to start Russian language in the Monterey Defense Language Institute. I was a recently (barely) graduated airman. I was assigned to study Crypto-linguist specialization. I wanted Chinese but I got recycled in San Antone (Lackland AFB) for having too many demerits in my inspection. So the recycling caused me to lose my start time for Chinese and they didn't have Chinese the following session.

This Take 1 jam session turned out pretty good so the following day I came back with fuller lyrics, and that is heard in Take 2.

Yeah, linguists have it harder than many, even my own specialty. So much time to pick up the language you'll be working with in your NATO op. You just can't fail.

Go linguists!
