Unintouch (2001 Cassette demo)

I'm not going to fight it / I guess I'll ride it

On November 11, 2001, I wrote this poem in my spiral-bound, suede-covered journal:

This verse was committed to paper on my sister Gretchen’s birthday.

The next day, I recorded this demo of a song that would eventually be called “Unintouch”:

I often sit under that very orange tree when I make my “Singing Cowboy Faux Jean” videos.

If you watch closely, you can see the leaves moving in the video.

This week, I thought maybe staring at a pretty sky would be better than watching my worry lines deepen in real time.

I remain your humble servant,

OX&C,

Faux Jean

And naturally, as I do every week, I added today’s song to the evolving album series over on Bandcamp:

Unintouch is not a word.

If this screen capture is to be believed, I created and/or modified this song (working title “cabrales(1)”) on November 12, 2001— it definitely was not New Year’s Eve, 1969.

Cabrales is an extra-funky bleu cheese that is imported from Spain.
