about

This was another song in my (Evan) “straight” repertoire. I had worked up a finger-picking arrangement of the distinctive head-riff. I was playing an open stage on Monday nights in those days at Pachamama’s coffee house on Pearl Street (subsequently Attusso’s restaurant and now L’Atelier, a fancy joint). After the sensitive artists would do their sensitive thing, I would come on and play pop dance songs in a hoppin’ rockabilly style, partly tongue-in-cheek. I performed as “Joe Colorado” and a bunch of people there got to know me as “Joe” as a result. This is me only, overdubbed on the 4-trac and it treads the fine line between straight and crazed. This appeared on the cassette release "Walls Of Genius" and was credited to Sgt. Joe Colorado.
