Description
Why "Homage to a Spitfish" you ask?
Well a long time ago in a hick town far far away and musical adventure took place. Three brothers from Edgewood, KY (the state not the lubricant) put a band together. Their name "Spitfish" came from a Johnny Hart "BC" comic strip.
Eventually, me and the youngest brother of Spitfish, Jim Nolan, crossed paths at the College of Mount St. Joseph, in Delhi Township, Cincinnati, Ohio, as we were both pursuing a degree in graphic design.
Two years my junior, Jim was always mistaken for my younger brother...could be the unkempt hairstyles we both sported or our pallid complexions or the fact that both of us were no taller than a Smurf®.
Through Jim's freshman and sophomore years, which coincided with my junior and senior years at Mt. St. Joe, he and I wrote and performed together with Tim Savage as a very unprofessional but always fun alt/folk/rock band called "Red Over Green"
Through the years we spent together, we amassed a total of a half a dozen songs we composed, and performed them along with a small handful of obligatory cover versions (including REM's "King of Birds", "Fall On Me", and "Driver 8", as well as Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit")
Upon my graduation in 1990, Red Over Green ceased to exist, and Spitfish was on hiatus. Since then, Spitfish has reunited and hopefully soon 2/3's of Red Over Green will perform together again. Until then, we are left with happy memories of 64 weeks of good fun, good music....a little bit of uh huh and a whole lotta oh yeah!
So this composition is another fusion of multiple songs first composed from Red Over Green and Spitfish and the Sleepers era (*Sleepers...what it was called when Tim and I were involved in the Nolan brothers' fun and games, Red Over Green when it was just Jim, Tim and me)
Best,
Eddie
PS, never let anything get in the way of you and how you express yourself...EVER!!!
