No external microphones! No amps! Absolutely no talent involved!

Bette Midler covered it on an album once. Isn’t it pretty?

For my efforts, I was rewarded beyond my wildest dreams. ‘Elodie’ was featured on the front page of YouTube, and was the song that eventually won me the Decca contest. My EP with ‘Elodie’ on it can be purcahsed on iTunes and at Amazon.com. And for your interest, Elodie is a girl I met during a summer program at Yale. She didn’t like me much.

It’s about death. Go death. And there’s Mozart in the middle, and a little Les Miz at the end. Hells yeah.

The song is a revisionist history of my friendship with Tallie. I screw up a number of times. It went fine in my living room that morning, but then I forgot to have a place to put my mandolin, and to place the melodica near the keyboard. Smart man.
