Like others, life has been getting in the way...
I have more catching up to do...and I'll get to it....
In the meantime, I throwing this up.

I'm gathering together some songs to release an album (read: "to release a vanity project").
Just so I can call them up in Apple Music (for the rest of my life).

To that end, I have re-mastered this first choice.
Lots of stuff under the technological bridge since this was first posted over 10 years ago...

The Song:


THIS I-Love-Tammy TATTOO

you know that old coat that you left behind
I dropped it at the thrift store down on 59
that mug you always liked, i dropped that too
a hundred little pieces - nothing much that I could do
tending to a garden, that's just not my style
so all your back porch plants have been gone for quite a while
I gave away your cds and your yoga mat
after all what would i do with something like that

   there's just one thing
   that won't go away
   staring back at me
   every single day
   tell me if you can what do i do
   with this i love tammy tattoo

that cabernet you were saving for some special day
i drank straight from the bottle, then threw half of it away
whatever that was in your crochet bin
one night, i unraveled until i reached the end
I finally thought to change the message on my phone
the one where you just giggled and said "wait for the tone"
i deleted every picture that i could find
of you or you and me or anything that brought you to mind

   there's just one thing....





...and....That's all she wrote.

Have at it.

HERE is the old track if anyone wants to compare the differences in the new mastering to the old...
