"Some Birds" was a case of where the title followed the tune, because it sounds that way to me. It sounds like a tree full of birds just talking to each other and doing whatever they are doing when they make all of that racket. It just has an aviary kind of feel. Played in Dropped D.

The "Three Walls And Bars" was a musical evocation of my little stay in jail that lasted about three days. It was just your standard drinking in the street and "You`re going to jail, buddy." This happened in St. Cloud, Minnesota. As for the other parts, I fell into a black hole either before, during, or after these tunes. I don`t remember anything about them. Played in Dropped D.

| I still play this one. I first heard "Sleep Walk" coming out of a speaker that was hanging over a pawnshop door in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
Santo & Johnny remain one of the greatest little duets to ever come down the pike. They did another one called "Teardrop" and another called "Long Walk Home." Somebody just asked me, "Leo, what was the B-side of `Sleep Walk`?" I didn`t know. They did.
Those guys didn`t last long. Again, it was the same instrumental oblivion, even as unusual and good as they were. The last I saw of them was an album they made of Cowsills hits. I saw that at a truck stop in Milan, Italy. Played in Open G.
