Dance (Demo Plus the Boarders)

from Memos and Demos by various artists including Doug Hubley

/

about

And here's a demo and a final version neatly packaged together. (Just think, if I had more of these, "Memos and Demos" would be much shorter!)

"Dance" started out with the Fashion Jungle, my lyrics riding on a tune created collaboratively by Steve Chapman, Ken Reynolds and me. Six or seven years later, casting about for material for the Boarders and feeling no more optimistic about the fate of the world, I rediscovered these lyrics, for which I created a more-or-less new tune.

The first part of the recording is the demo that I made for bassist Gretchen Schaefer and drummer Jonathan Nichols-Pethick to learn it from. The remainder, cleverly grafted on through the magic of digital audio editing, is the Boarders rehearsing the song on July 9, 1996, in the basement. The Boarders section is a copy of a copy that was made on a mastering deck with a wow-and-flutter problem, hence the wowing and fluttering.
