Dear Mom and West Virginia Heart came from the same musical I wrote year
s ago. This was just before the Dear Mom (we are failing) and celebrating that every one at every club wants to hear your and your group..
The title is Here We Are. And the subtitle is And we think that we made it.
As I dig through these old tapes I have no answer to my own questions. Why did I not continue producing that track? Why are there not drums, bass or background vocals?
This recording is obviously me, singing the exteemly high parts and BJ singing the soprano. Scotty is playing the acoustic guitar and the electric. I fed the electric through a hot distortion unit and used the Revox tape echo to amplify the effect. But that is all we did.
I listened to this today and I am impressed again with Scotty. What a talent he is. Someday we should finish this. That is my humble opinion. I have lived this and it is cool.
Here we are
And I think that we made it
The town just loves us
They want us in every club
Here we are
We made it
Music City
Time will tell
But I think we’ll be number one
Oh, Here we are
We made it
Music City.
Here we are
Here we go
Oh, everyone just has to know
Oh, here we are
We made it!
Music City.
Gotta write a letter to everyone at home
Got to send them reviews, got to let them know we’re HOT!
We made it.
Music City.
We’ll here our name
Every where in town
We’ll drink champaign
And we’ll shout it out.
Oh, Here we are.
We made it.
Music City.
It feels so good now.
I hope that it never ends.
