about

Darwin
Written in Seattle and played live but never put down for posterity until now. And here, for better or worse, it is. I think that the last verse owes a debt to a song called Cockroaches On Parade by Harry Waller that I heard on the Tribute To Steve Goodman LP (an album that I remember as being the first time I’d ever really heard of a tribute album – those were the days). It is, at least, the only in-depth song that I can think of about cockroaches. Having said that, the idea for the last verse was suggested to me by Shelley Jackson and she’s almost certainly never heard that song.
