You're Takin a Shiznit |
Mike Garcia |
Written about Steve "Bubba" Cowles, one of our alumni. He
has a propensity to, uh, "use the restroom" during phone conversations,
and that's what this song is about. I was stationed at MT with him from
1988-1990.

Your Mom's Hot |
Mike Garcia |
Your Mom's Hot is based on a
chord progression that Henry Hatch (another MT alumnus) taught me how to
play years ago. I doubt he envisioned it developing into this particular
song, but oh well. And don't worry... I don't really want your
mom. |

Strength |
Mike Garcia |
There's a bass guitar through a distortion box, and the
lead is played on a Yamaha acoustic. It's a song about not letting
certain people (who are no longer my friends) get under my skin. Of
course, they must have succeeded because why the heck would I have
wasted time writing and recording this song otherwise? I didn't think
about that at the time... |

Solstice |
Mike Garcia |
This is a bitter "break-up" song that I wrote and recorded
under the artist name "Richard & the Twins" a few years ago. It's a
ballad... so sad! (sniff sniff). It will move you, or it will cause you
to have a "movement". Steven "Bubba" Cowles heard this tune and commented
that "the guitar playing is better than the singing". Gee, that's a
shock. That's another way of saying, "You sound like a 1972 Chevy Nova
dragging a muffler." |
