about
In late 1999, I started working with John Cluff at his Track Shack studio. For almost a month strait in early 2000 I assembled a great group of people , including the talented and eccentric Raphael Rudd, to record at the Track Shack. Rudd was a Julliard trained classical pianist who played like he was on fire. He was proud of his collaborations with Pete Townsend, including working on the soundtrack to the movie Quadrophenia and the album by Pete, Empty Glass. John luff and I produced a CD from tapes of Raphael and Pete playing in London called The Oceanic Concerts. It was released by Rhino Records. Raphael passed away in 2004. I hope that Raphael would be pleased know songs, that he was so jazzed about recording with the gang and I have moved from the shelf and onto the airwaves. RIP my ol' friend.
lyrics
Carnation
I write you this letter and I’ve crossed the T’s
I’m working out of the house now that I’m me
I got things to say to you, like everything
I was lost ,I was wrong, I was green
What doubts I’ve held forever I’ve let go
And with these words I leave you with I hope you’ll know
At times like these it’s hard to say
But I was down, I was young, in-between
And I send it to let you know
With a carnation instead of a rose
As I find this language I mean to leave
And with me I guess, I take our dream
There’s no tomarrow only whats left of today
Its sad what flowers say.
And I send it to let you know
With a carnation instead of a rose
