Never Got Warm Again (vocal, 1984, 1989)

Two different versions of the same song.

One morning in 1984 I woke up with a complete song, music and lyrics, already in my head. I'm not sure how this happened--maybe a dream, maybe I was an "antenna" for some outside consciousness, maybe... In any case, I jumped out of bed, powered up my 4-track, got out my guitar and recorded the entire song in about an hour, sitting on the edge of my bed. The 1984 version is that very recording, in all its imperfect glory. The 1989 version is, perhaps, slightly less imperfect, but I've always been partial to the '84 version myself. And you?

Equipment:

1984: Hagstrom III electric guitar, Fostex X-15 4-track.

1989: G&L F-100 Electric guitar, E-Bow, Fostex Model 160 4-track.
