"I Can See You"
Here’s the song I started years ago at South Padre Island finally finished at Maile’s request for Valentine’s Day.
I Can See You 0.2
w/drum machine
I Can See You
With a name like Maile how could you be anything but
An island child, laying by the water in the sun
Drinkin’ tea and reading magazines
Taking naps in your bikini
Hey mama what’s your name? You’re my one.
I can see you
I can see you
I can see you playing on the beach
I can see you
I can see you
I can see you comin up and kissin me
Yes there is something inside me you alone stir with your strut
I do a funny little dance cause I can’t contain my love
Walkin hand in hand, strange city streets
Takin’ pictures, loving who we meet
Sittin in a restaurant long after we are done and everyone’s gone
I can see you
I can see you
I can see you sittin there with me
I can see you
I can see you
I can see you lookin’ so sweet
Your eyes told me hold me
Your map told me unfold me
Your lips practice poetry
Your stars a certain symmetry
And so you called me Jabie, your singin twin, your bean-headed nut
Whistlin love songs for you all day, all night touching toes under the covers
Still remember when I saw you in the store
Still want you everyday a little more
You’re my constant question, my how, my why, my when, my what
I can see you
I can see you
I can see you standin there right next to me
I can see you
I can see you
I can see you marrying me

jcast5: Virtual Jazz Collaboration
Libby asked for a version of “What The Day Had To Say” so I recorded it for this week’s jcast. I’ve been looking to do some remote, digital collaboration with folks all around the world, so I asked Doug (in NM) if he’d like to try out his new kit, lay down a bass line, and a guitar solo, and he graciously grooved.
The catalyst for this was helping Derek setup a method of virtual collaboration with his band mates in Alpha Rev. So, though he’s less than a mile away here in Austin, we did it all digital, on our own schedules. Virtual alleluia!
I’m posting version 5.1 with a re-mix of “What The Day Had To Say,” to get the stereo sound coming through. Many thanks to Alex and Radiohead for the nice segue music. This week’s cover is both written and made famous by the lady in the picture.
I posted a few different versions of this weeks songs over at everydayj.com, my personal blog.

"Return of the Scorcher"
Lib shared this video with me and I really enjoyed its global, nostalgic perspective on the potential of cycling to connect people with the world. It also reminds me of all the resistances a cyclist must face here and how far off a bicycle eden lies; I really must get to Amsterdam.

"What The Day Had To Say"
Here is a freshly recorded version of “What The Day Had To Say” with a big empty instrumental third verse. It needs a walking bass track throughout, and a guitar solo on the first half of the instrumental verse that gives way to a bass solo on the second half. It could also use a brushy little shuffle on the snare. Take your pick. It was recorded to a click at 150 BPM.
