Hey all-

I wrote "1970" a few years ago after witnessing firsthand what dementia, Alzheimers, and other forms of memory loss can do to a person and their family. It's a terrible disease, and this song attempts to capture what it must feel like to be unstuck in time, waiting for things that have already happened, talking to people who have long since passed.

On a brighter note, Toni and I were thrilled to be asked to play this song along with a few others at McCabe's Guitar Shop in Santa Monica after-hours for a session that will eventually be included in their holiday livestream. Though all the chairs in front of us were empty, it did feel great to be playing music in a public space again. I can't wait until the day comes when people can sit in those chairs again though. :)

Lyrics to "1970":

I got a telephone, it never rings
I’m just making calls to memories
oh-oh
but on my better days I know
the last years have cost me dearly

Been smoking cigarettes
about a pack a day
just waiting for my lover
to come back to me
oh-oh
in my checkered dress I know
it’s been a long time since 1970

Pretty baby
the kitchen light is on
and I’m dancing to our favorite song
I’ve been waiting, and I hope it won’t be long now

Don’t know where I am
Or who put me here
But by a trick of light
I’m in my Oldsmobile
so-oh
you see my good days are the worst days
‘cause I’m alive there in 1970

Pretty baby
they got the TVs on
and I’m watching reruns all night long
I’m still waiting
but I fear there’s something wrong

They took my telephone
but I still hear it ring
I’m getting calls from infinity
oh-oh
I know
it’s just static but I’m listening
