Info for album: noodle stranger

These are some less accesible pop tunes compared to "The Pops". Jessica helped with lyrics and vocals on "whatever happened to Geoff?", a song inspired by a teaser at the end of a cassette tape message from Jon and Tim back home about our buddy Geoff, suggesting he'd finally hooked up. Andy plays all instruments and sings. Recorded to Paul's MT-44 4-track cassette deck.

Overview:
There are cassette tapes by "The Andy Band" dating back to 1979, when Andy was 14 years old, and he is still an avid recording musician. Sometimes The Andy Band is all about "hit record and go" improvisation, other times it's all about one-man-band multi-tracking in the studio. Since 2010, Andy has been playing some of these songs live near his new home in Vermont at open mics. He relishes the thrill of improvising with an audience, as well as singing three-part harmonies and playing bass with players there. But he also loves building up a song with layers and layers of Andys, singing and playing everything.
