DickDanger: he angry he got a angry face people think he angry when he ain't even angry I seen him in this all night coffeehouse on 9th avenue in Chelsea in 1998 summer of he came in about 11:30 pm and got on the list to play. it was a open mike where they basically gave you a gig right there. small stage. what was clear about cromb was he didn't have no marketing plan. he had one of those soundhole pickups for the acoustic and that was it. he come on in and set down at the small curve of bar in the side and back and order a amber beer and another and three and it was clear he didn't have no qualms on playin drunk because he'd take 4 up to the stage with him when he go to play. white boy blues. but he sing his own words and put his own C Am F G etc. twist on things. this one night there was these two minxy small dyehead girls there no I mean one was chinese the other octaroon perhaps they were from NYU they gave him their regard and he gave them some song about coming up like a scarecrow across the crisscross bottle glass. nah, that's some lie. he never had no song that good. this was a good night there though because it came down to a blues jam with this dude ted and it went on and on and ended in a vestibule with this micmac girl and ted and some others on the smoke out then it was shamble into the morning spend the last dollars on a egg plate and then shamble back down into the train it was a dry glory and a arid one dry as wallboard dust - why you think he drink so much?



MercyGraft: he knows that indeed you do go around only once and that's why his conscience has been dealing him some blows. the summer sunlight should never shine so hard. catch him smoking an American Spirit by the truck. planning to dive out to somewhere remote where he can smoke some more and try to think himself back into who he used to want to be. harsh too is the reflection too back on what and how it he used to be. it was never so good. maybe one summer. 95. that was a good one. hi it's me Cromby here see I've hijacked MG he's supposed to be my better half but you know how that goes
