Singing my song to painted walls

This is a collection of the four demo tapes that I recorded from '94–'96 put on CD. OK, so it’s no secret that a higher quality medium will bring out more of the flaws of a performance (or, perhaps, take away some excuses for the flaws), and there are a whole lot of flaws to be found on this CD. I hadn’t always the patience that I have now, nor had I the equipment. Still, I’ve never been an audiophile. As with old scratchy recordings of jazz performances, it isn’t so much the quality of the recording that I listen for. I’m concerned about the quality of the thoughts — the ideas. So, I request only, as you listen to this CD, that you forgive the recordings for the sake of the music. Because it is, or ought to be if it isn’t, the music and the ideas that are important.


This CD-R is no longer available for regular purchase. If you would like a copy please contact Justin Katz (information available above).

Special thanks to Doug Fallone of Mr. Chu for his expertise in helping to produce songs 2, 5, 8, 16, and 17 and playing bass and electric guitar on song 2 and acoustic guitar, drums, and electric guitar on song 5.
