“Hair”—A
carry-over from college, written in my dorm room in Yashiro, Japan, on an
unplugged electric guitar. This one goes out to my friend Karl Pearson-Cater,
one of the coolest people I know. Our bands the Raging Bagels and rottweiller
were rad back in the day. While both exchange students in Japan, Karl and I played
this song with a young Japanese drummer during a “guitar club” meeting at
Kansai Gaidai University. I don’t think this guy had ever played original
music, especially not something sorta funky with two American college kids.
With a massive grin on his face, the hyped up drummer continued to bounce
uncontrollably on his drums stool and laugh aloud for about a full minute after
the song finished. (Note: “Hair” was my first-ever music video uploaded to
youtube, directed and edited by the amazing Jessie Braun.) Greg Adams—vocals, rhythm and wah guitar; Tom Kutrieb—bass, trumpet
solo; Zach Brawford—drums.
