about

Have you ever peeled religiously? Is it an onion, an avocado, or, perhaps even, an artichoke?

Sometimes I peel religious, oftentimes alongside my feelings...

Feelings? What are these? Oh, just something many have forgotten about in the hustle bustle of the 'modern day.'

Yet not the present day. The present day is full of feeling; and peeling, poolside alongside the emotions, of course.

Thanks to the 'Angel up in the sky; singing sweet words to you and I.' This EP is dedicated to you, my love.

Bennie Benjamin, Eddie Durham, Sol Marcus and Eddie Seiler are the songwriters behind 'I Don't Want To Set The World On Fire,' abbreviated in title here (as well as being grafted spontaneously to the spontaneous improvisation itself, 'Boogaloo'), and the song itself was made a classic by the classic Ink Spots, circa 1941, hitting number 4 on the pop charts, three years after the tune was penned. It hit home in December of that year, with the bombing of Pearl Harbor and the United States' entry into the War to End All Wars, the Second. Horace Heidt recorded a version, as well, his hitting number one on those pop charts. But what's the difference between one and four anyway?

All other songs composed by myself. In brief flashes of near-improvisation themselves; as quick as my hand could move a pen across paper, were these other three original tunes composed. Inspiration strikes like lightning, and left behind the zig zag bolt of nature's electrical wonder is The Tree Of Life: there for each and every one of us to climb and tangle with its branches and brochures.

All performances first takes. 'Jesus Peel Me' written and recorded on July 9; 'Easter Donkey' on April 9; 'Boogaloo/Set The World On Fire' on May 23; and lastly, but certainly not least, 'That's How Much I Love You' on August 11.
