The original title of this song was My Milieu. I learned that word doing a crossword puzzle and I thought it was cool. After writing the song, however, it dawned on me that it didn’t really fit the tune no matter how cool it was. LOL

So I changed the title.

I am guessing this was recorded in the Choke Monkey Lounge kitchen version (before I built the real one outside in the garage). I’m sure Milton is on bass. I’m on drums, guitars, and vocals. The drums were recorded in a “box” I built in the corner of the kitchen. I put box springs on the floor and then nailed plywood on that, then carpet. Carpet on the walls too. I can’t believe Old Betty downstairs never called the landlady on me. We recorded tons of songs up there before getting into the garage downstairs.

This and so many of the others were recorded on a Teac 4-track Sony reel to reel tape deck I bought from Pat Crowley. You can clearly hear the difference between tape and later digital recordings on this song.

It's not one of my “top ten’s” but I like this song. I really like the ending. It’s very well-recorded, that’s for sure. The clapping and the guitar lead were always cool to me. It’s exciting to hear a song “create itself” as you build track. I hope you like it too.
