Psychopathic Permutations

Parts 1 to 5. A long poem sequence that Gerard and I co-wrote and then later set to music. Includes one section that we tried to play as if the tape was running backward. BN

A kind of nonsense epic. Features harmonica playing, Along with James is Down with the Heartburn the only CA or related groups title to do so. Certainly we started out writing it together and perhaps most of what was put to music was cowritten -- but something had engaged the Norland brain, and the written material increased alarmingly in my absence. The piece was given a performance with Ben and I standing at lecterns on opposite sides of the stage. It was our contribution to an evening of chamber music! But the audience was appreciative and we were given a trophy. I believe CA's only award. GG

Apart from those we won for public speaking. Not really rock and roll, though. JP
