This is a live version of a song I wrote freshman year of college in 1982-1983.  The entire song came to me at one time while I was in the dorm hallway.  No one knows this, but it was inspired by and happened after I found out that someone who shall remain nameless who was there freshman year kissed my roommate.

I don’t believe I recorded this until my Senior year in college, and in this version (which had to be edited, because we had a stumble toward the end and had to start that part over – hence the laughter all of a sudden, because you don’t hear the comment I jokingly made about the informality of the concert).  But on the piano is the Dove award-winning Kyle Matthews (singer, songwriter extraordinaire).  Well, he wasn’t a Dove award winner back then, but eventually was, and wrote the massive Christian hit “We Fall Down” that Bob Carlisle and others recorded (along with a lot more songs).

Another college friend recorded it on an album in the late 80’s or early 90’s – a jazz singer named Gwen Hughes.  She put her own twist on it, and it was an Atlanta Jazz Radio favorite for a while.  I think she said it was a good “makeout” hit?  hehehehehe

Anyway, I am going to post some of my old songs on here just so my Facebook friends can access them – they’re not for professional reasons.  So if you were at the coffeehouses way back when, these are for you.
