Here's the story:
My band Everything But Anchovies stopped rehearsing and gigging in late 1989, and we pretty much went our separate ways, with Jon and Tim joining a new band called the Naked Blues Band, and my diving
more and more into fingerpicking acoustic guitar and alternate tunings and then building up a recording studio and doing a lot of one-man band multi-track recordings of songs I couldn't play in a trio. But, like I wrote last week, we were inspired by some reunions of our first band, Voyager, with our buddy Pete, who had honed a talent for improvising vocals and music, which eventually led to a weekly improv session with two other guys --a project we called Killer Whirlpool. But for the first three sessions, in 1995, it was just the three of us, and we put out the best of those sessions as EBA on an album called Spontaneous Combustion. This is one of my favorites from that album, with Tim's wicked funky bass line being the highlight.
Thanks for listening!

freestyle animal
think of all the fish in the sea
there's so many colors and sizes
think of all the fish in the sea
it just makes my mind wonder
think of all the things you could be
think of all the faces
think of all the sizes of people
think of all the colors
elephants in africa
and the cheetahs running free
a toucan sitting in the tree with a gumball
monkey see, monkey do
everybody's got to live
nobody wants to be in prison
nobody wants to miss another sunset
what did you say last night?
something about this funny dream
where everything changed into everything
the lampshade and the jaguar in the garage
what did you want to be as a kid?
what did you want to be when you were a kid?
everybody has a dream
everyone wants to live free
like the animals
