play Why'd She Do That. Live Bonus Track...it takes 17 seconds before the audio begins...AFTER you hit the play button. You can go pour a cup of coffee.

from Box Of Bones - Cogtone 006 - 1996

beth is young in years and her mind's on fire
her boyfriend's got a short fuse
he's a thief and a liar
she doesn't even love him, but she gives herself up
every time he calls. why does she do that?
she doesn't even know...she doesn't even know

sara leads a sophisticated style of life
she's moving faster than the speed of light
she craves the stimulation
every time it calls she takes another dose
she can't feel herself falling. she doesn't even know

jimmy's twisted like a dying tree
stretched out toward the sun
branches reaching, desperately
but they could never get enough
screams at the world when his anger fills him up
every time it calls he takes another dose
he can't see himself falling.
he doesn't even know

This was recorded during one of the many marathon  jams at Eddie's Attic and added as a bonus track. You'll hear Eddie hailing in the "Waffle House Hour" and Ellis Paul calling everyone in for huddle hand shake "...should we do one of those circle things?". This particular marathon was to celebrate Rainy Day Records' 5th anniversary. They were the retail center of the Atlanta acoustic universe.

DonCon: guitar, lead vocal
Backing Vocals: Ellis Paul, Tom Prasado-Rao, Eddie Owen and Caroline Aiken...at least I'm pretty sure. I'm surprised Matthew Kahler and Shawn Mullins weren't in on this, too. They may have been..
