Notes


ome original songs and experimenting with song ideas, plus a jamming session with friends doing Beatles songs from a tape dated 1980

To our knowledge, these are previously never before heard songs. We may be wrong. If so, let us know

Piano Rough

When We All Become Famous In The Sky

Hot Dog Burning Tonight (probably had a weenie-roast that night - a common meal the Johnston's held outside around a bon-fire with guests in the summer!)

Hot Water (for lack of a better title)

Maybe You'd Be My Friend (several long takes at a song idea - probably a good example of how he would normally develop a song idea on the fly)

He's Got A Rubber (he bounces back from anything)

Daniel around the piano with friends - Ray Pickens at the piano

Ray Pickens at the piano (beginning a jam session with friends - Daniel reading lyrics to Subterranean Homesick Blues)
