I was messing around in my music room with the tape recorder on ... working on this idea ... singing about my wife Karen ... when she and my daughter Michele walked in. "We're Home!" they cried ... interrupting my muse with sounds that were pure joy to my ears ... one precious moment in time.
This song was never finished, officially, but I couldn't help putting this copy of it's inception on the site, to share with you.
"Temptation is a high-flying bird ..." That's Hama ... our Cockatiel from Hollywood, California ... chirping in the background.

About This Recording: I was transferring tape copies of "old stuff" to digital format when I came across a cassette tape labeled Graham's w/Boni: 1976. This recording was on that tape. The Graham House was a big ol' farm house we rented just before my daughter Michele was born ... I always called it "The Graham House" because that was the landlord's name.
