Okay.

Yeah.

So he's, uh, he's working on it.

I played two songs, Holiday Inn by Elton John and Music Man, which I had literally just written.

And it was the most kind of rock and roll song I'd ever kind of done.

It was actually my first kind of, I consider it my first real song.

You know, three verses, you know, all telling a story and...

Yeah, I guess it was prophetic.

And it was actually... There was a little manifestation in there, too, because in the... I was just singing it the other day, and the third verse, I actually sing as if I'd already attained some sort of fame, even though I hadn't.

Yeah, more like three.

I mean, come on.

Well, the plan was I was going to come home.

My first producer was the guy who sang lead on Bend Me, Shape Me, a guy named Gary Loaizo from Chicago.

Are you familiar with Gary at all?

No, I don't know him, but... Yeah, he went on to produce Styx and be Styx's house sound man.

Studio called Pumpkin Studios down on the south side.

Gary was an amazing singer.
