about

"Vietnamese Prelude" is composed of air organ sounds from 1980, mixed with Hawaiian electric guitar through Crybaby wah pedal played in parent's basement 1970, and audio from cassette tape of actual combat transmissions of the Vietnam War.

"Over the Hills of Who You Know" is a little jazzy sea shanty vaguely connected to office work or corporate politics, recorded in 1992.

"Geiger Encounter" is a naughty comical song that was made into a lovely music video featuring the gorgeous Shannon Klicker, and was the talk of the town of Peoria, IL USA one summer, my brother, after seeing her on the street after viewing the video, he yelled, "You are an actress in a Str8 Sounds video!", which thrilled her and she then declared she would be in all future videos. Wonderful memory now. The videos seem to be all lost however, from that period of the 1990s to 2000.
