A post-stroke activity/project. 1st recording of 2020. Written in '75 or '76, 45 years ago. I was 21 or 22. I was living with Bernie Chiaravalle on Union St. in San Rafael, and had a dream about a Sea Captain. Been wanting to record it since then, so I finally just did. |
There's a Sea Captain living in our attic I'd say He cries like the devil, but he only wants to play And play he did with me while I was sleeping one night He took my astral self, to no avail I tried to fight. He knew that I was scared, apparently that is why He had so much power over me and that he had only one eye I figured out that he was a Sea Captain and the birds Told me that he surely had a Captain's choice of words La la ta di da da da da ti da He led me to a mirror and I saw that I was him I called for help then saw a friend although the light was dim My friend he told me not to worry 'bout my present state I then recalled the fact that I exist because of fate. Listen to me I said to our Sea Captain friend It's truly been a pleasure but this game has got to end I knew by then that this affair by no means had been a dream I consciously relaxed now free of fear and freed my beam. La la ta di da da da da ti da Once back in my body I was out just like a light Fell outta bed the next day, what a heavy night Remembered all my dreams and that's exactly what they were Except the confrontation with the Sea Captain for sure La la ta di da da da da ti da La la ta di da da da da ti Da da ta di da La la ta di da da da da ti da It's a Sea Captain It's a Sea Captain It's a Sea Captain It's a Sea Captain Oooo |

I don't remember what LDL stands for. Little ditty... something, I think. Written when I was 16 (1970), recorded in 2019, but mastered in 2020. Simple, and certainly derivative. And interesting to determine just what my influences were/are, as this was a year before my Alice Cooper/Captain Beefhart themed power trio in high school. So there is a diametric difference the two. Versed in softball and hardball I guess. And we're all products of our influences, yes? Hard to reinvent the wheel, but we can put our own "spin" on it. And loving my new Ozone Elements mastering plug-in. Makes it sound almost real! |
