ABSTRACT: I always wanted a pet roc. And I’m sure my pet roc would want me.
Besides guitar and voice recorded late, late at night, I used a Tweakbench VST instrument called “Padawan” [5] as a keyboard in this, and the marvelously bizarre Delay Lama [6] as a background chorus. The words were hard; I had to keep cutting up what I’d already recorded to fit around them.
But I think it’s OK now. A story. A story.
