(Voodoo Dolls et al). jamming with him in my Buzz and the gang living room circa 1985 ("Reagan years...bop bop bop") "this song here shows my Elvis Costello influence". captain Easychord agrees! There has "Never been Any reason" for Dave to NOT HEAD EAST (1975 Bloomington Indiana!), a cover of lou's "Sunday Morning" and check www.facebook.com/falsepostivesband All Kindsa Jerks did a splendid cover of "I'm always touched by your presence dear"; plastic Letters, second album; "Death to Disco"!
