Magic, Matt Sperry and Beth Lisick

After a weekend spent mainly with family — the event being Susan’s nephew Adam Katzman marrying the the love of his life, the beautiful and charming Joni Mosely — we spent Sunday in pursuit of the weekend we needed, including floating around in the pool, breakfast with friends, and a trip to the book store. I walked around in a fog of mental ashes, picking up this and that but not finding anything that sparked. Susan found “helping me help myself” by Beth Lisick. She commenced to reading it last night, while I tried to work up the energy to convince her to watch Repo Man (my favorite film) with me. Soon enough Susan piped in that her new book had a quote from Repo Man, the infamous synchronistic soliloquy considering “shrimp, or plate of shrimp”. I was impressed. Then, sitting on the couch next to me a few minutes later, she said “oh my God!”, and read to me an entire paragraph (titled “Habit 2: begin with the End in Mind”) about late Grecian Formula 69 (et. al., indeed) bassist Matt Sperry. Two in a row, plucked from the shelves of a large corporate bookstore. Three, if you count the fact that the Repo Man quote is actually referring to synchronistic experiences.

Matt plays a huge part in this recording. It was a post-Grecian Formula 69 where Tom called Matt and asked him to come in and lay down some bass, and he ended up recording bowed upright for the intro. Alas, there were not enough tracks for the author of this blog’s parts, and they were forfeited, so…I’m not on it. The electric guitars are tuned to Emin7 - E G E G B D:
