As dermahrk revealed to the world in a MOG exclusive yesterday, he and I have formed a band. (By the way, it took MOG for us to learn of the other person's existence, despite living five minutes away from each other and having missed each other by a matter of months from the same department at the University of Iowa.) Here is the first of my compositions with a complete home demo. It's the first song I wrote after a hiatus of roughly 30 years. I've written better since, I think, but am not embarrassed by this for starters. And despite Mark's heroic efforts with a primitive drum machine, it does sound rather better with a real drummer....
Anyway, enough apologies. Hope you enjoy.....

We're the dynamic MOG duo, kinda like...Castro and Batman? Not sure which would be me...
Awesome! Cool song, very nice melodies & harmonies, great lyrics & sweet guitar! I'd like to hear it with the band! Thanks!
DM, not touching it....
fjg, many thanks. It'd be great to post real band tracks here someday. Working on it....
I wuz here, but couldn't hear, I'm at work you see. But it won't be long I'll hear your song.........
Bravo! Most excellent song, with great guitar fills and solos. The verses and bridge go well together, the lyrics are solid. You've done even better since? I look forward to more Consenting Adults.
Ok, I'm back. I hear a fine jangle-rock gem here, in a very rough mix. A lttle buffing & polishing...who knows?
Have you guys figured out a tour schedule yet?
So far we are touring my living room. Excuse me, I need to go stand in the East corner.
I think i saw a site on the web somewhere where you could hire groupies.
so who gets to be gleek the monkey?
Are you going to give us the glorious details of the band's debauched life on the road?
I won't go ahead and hate it because I absolutely like it. Bravo Bill. I second John's notion: we want to know all about the Consenting Adults and their debauchery.
late to this party but so psyched to see that this happened.
OK, so it's over a year-long-old post--but I had never clicked on your profile before. U of I--you're in the fold! Great lyrics, my husband always asks me on our anniversay, "so you wanna' try another year?"
Yes, ma'am. I remain a Hawkeye in my soul (Mark even more so - he still has family in Iowa City.) We just played this song today with the guy who may end up as our new drummer. As many times as we've played it by now, it felt like a trip back to the old neighborhood. You should hear it with a real band behind it....
I wear the black and gold...I'd be run outta town if I didn't! Very good, if you ever head back into Iowa City to play, I'll be sure to stop in the joint.
