    Three Picture Deal (Demo)




    OOOO-eee Love to hear Walter stomp and romp on this one. Great energy. He’s like a kid, just playing. Okay, a kid with an uncommonly deep voice…but he seems to be enjoying himself no matter what the register.



    THREE PICTURE DEAL

    Here she stands in the doorway

    Her face is framed in golden light

    With creamy thighs and bedroom eyes

    Call it “Urchin With an Appetite”

    My favorite shirt — my terry towel

    A bowl of cherries in her hand

    It’s breakfast and some headshots

    That she’s bringing for her brand new man


    It’s a one — it’s a two — it’s a three

    It’s a three picture deal

    I said a one — it’s a two — it’s a three

    It’s a three picture deal


    Her new house on the hillside

    Some blocks above the Sunset Strip

    The yoga den is megazen

    The vibey lighting ultrahip

    She’s gushing on her cellphone

    The trainer’s on eternal hold

    Producer X is talking film

    But the bottom line is solid gold


    With a one — maybe two — even three

    Yes a three picture deal

    Yes it’s a one — even two — or a three

    Yes a three picture deal


    Well she’s leaving in the limo

    She’s sorry but they’re running late

    The night is here — the big premiere

    It’s “The Lady and the Reprobate”

    Now a man like me should never be

    Where a man like me does not belong

    But I know they’re gonna need a soundtrack

    I know they’re gonna need a song


    For the one

    Two

    Three

    Downloadability has been fixed. The platform we're using is designed for people to offer their own tracks either for a fixed rate, or a "name your own price." Convincing it to allow every guest (including those who don't have a forum account) to download the track for free at FLAC and MP3 necessitates jumping through a few hoops, and apparently your loyal servant missed a hoop on that particular run.

    Is there a story behind the Charlie Mingus painting that Walter is holding ?

    It was a present to WB. At one time he considered a charity auction of stuff around the house (the ultimate in 're-gifting', perhaps?), and pics were taken of some of the items. The auction never happened but many of the items found good homes nonetheless
