Stop back anytime for news of October Revolution, Hallelujah City, Geezer Dad, Zero Gravity, and other books. (Tom’s website, like those selfless lawyers who advertise on your TV, is open 24 hours a day.) You might even learn why an LA production company flew Tom and his daughter to New York City in October 2018 to participate in a forthcoming documentary. And feel free to contact the author via [email protected], especially if you’re closely related to Quentin Tarantino or Steven Spielberg. Thanks for visiting.
SpiesA Little SomethingPretending
Recorded on a four-track analog recorder purchased on eBay for $60. Guitars, backwards guitars, bass, simple keyboards, and simpler violin were played by Colorado’s oldest teenage guitarist, accompanied by the world’s tiniest drummer who works out of a guitar effects box on the floor. These are fairly primitive productions and will not sound good if played on a laptop without sufficient bass. (+ indicates more recent digital recordings)
