Preview Recordings from the future album

"Reinventing the Square Wheel"- songs, acoustic guitars and 

lead vocals by Robert Wills. Other instruments and voices, 

gratuitous production gimmicks by Bob Diddley 

                            -   
1. Who's Gonna Fire Up the Boiler?
 - in memoriam, Eric Campbell, real-life inventor

2. Starlena - totally made-up character, no relation to 

any actual person, living or dead; not around here, anyway.

3. More Money For Me - a song mostly written in '75, inspired by 

a militantly entrepreneurial friend. Arc-welded to a riff 

partly-remembered from the high school jazz band. A tip of 

the hat to Jim Cole, who taught me much of what I know 

about the structure of song, during our six weeks of 

harmony classes.

4. My Lil' Angel - a pseudo-zydeco two-step instrumental - 

aka Mon p'ti Angele

5. Banker's Dozen - southern country gospel sound - more 

songs about money and greed

6. Shown Actual Sighs - samba-ish instrumental, of many 

guitars, mostly the GK F-4, recorded electrically and 

acoustically at the same time. 

7.June Birds - recorded out the back window of the A-frame at 

Dragonfly Realm, June '05

8. Thinking of Ramona - again, with the bossy-nervy. 

The acoustic guitar was pretty much improvised into my laptop,

then the percussion added on the Fostex D-8. 

9. Fire It Up - an earlier take of ...the Boiler, which turned out 

not to fit the vocal progression. X-tended jamout version.

10. Up and Down the Line - a simple guitarthing soundscape 

11. Acoustic Strut - just a bit of music I recorded on the laptop.
