Jaywalking is a song that I wrote in the early 1980s — the exact date of the copyright is buried somewhere in a box up in the attic, part of a “compilation” of songs sent to the copyright office in one bunch to save money, and therefore not searchable on the official copyright web site 1979 — but never before recorded. I tried shooting a video of me actually jaywalking, but the Ithaca backdrop just didn’t look right. Plus, the act of jaywalking is meant to be taken metaphorically anyway, so I ended up just sitting down at the keyboards in front of my computer, using its built-in iSight camera. Check out the YouTube video, or, alternatively, go directly to my Jaywalking music webpage.

Looking through old cassette tapes one day a few years back, I found some preliminary versions of songs that I had written, and then forgotten about. One of them interested me, so I re-learned it, and recently recorded it (officially) for the first time. I’m guessing it was composed circa 1983. I shot a bare-bones YouTube video with my flip recorder (remixed Dec. 1, 2018).
