After many years working apart, Andrew Gold and I finally got back into the studio to record this song. We spent the day experimenting, laughing, wondering where all the time had gone. We sat in the garden dreaming back to tours of the states, Europe and Asia, my wedding, his, Kenny-- and by the end of the day he had put his mark on this as he does everything he touches . . . touched. He died this week and we're all sick with grief. The plans we made to start working together more regularly just fond wisps floating off into space.

But he's captured here, one last time. If not the last recording he ever made, certainly one of the last. He was my friend, mentor and much more that defies any label. I'm grateful to have had this last chance to make a joyful noise.

Which makes me the last of the Smogtones.

I know what you mean. I learned a lot of what I know about arrangement from Andrew. He was the most naturally talented musician I ever met. Keep writing!

Great track and pictures.Are you releasing this in the future ? I have all of Andrew's CD's - I managed to get in touch with him by email some years ago and he kindly sent me some of his back catalogue that I could not get in the UK. A lovely guy who wrote so many wonderful songs. Everyone should get to hear A LITTLE MERCY from INTERMISSION - I know he recordered new material since COPY CAT - will this ever be released ? Regards Doug

Man how I like this song already. You wrote some very nice songs, I remember me ages ago as a 12 year old kid trying to figure out the chords on "Genevieve" on the guitar . Andrew has always been one of my favourite musicians, that will never change.So there might just be a piece of him in my own humble songs...
