25 Songs for 25 Years, no. 6

A few weeks after we got married, we went to a gig by a singer friend of ours, Janie Cribbs. Janie was the vocalist with that Irish-Trad band I mentioned before, Train to Sligo, but around this time, she was branching out a bit, singing a little jazz, rock and blues, especially songs she'd written herself, which was something new at the time. We were a little surprised when she announced "here's a song for people who've just gotten married" before singing this song. (It wasn't just for us; there was another newlywed couple in the audience as well.)

Here is a recording of that song, recorded that night. Because it's a transfer from a 20-odd year-old cassette copy of a copy, the sound quality is a bit dubious, but I like the song anyway.

(If you happen to be in the Seattle area, Janie lives on Whidbey Island and performs all over the place; go listen to her and tell her I sent you.)

We Touch, recorded live at At My Place, Santa Monica
