about

Here's a couple of songs that we recorded at home for the La Jolla Playhouse remount/fine-tuning of Sleeping Beauty Wakes. "Can You Cure Me (new version)" was recorded primarily to give the orchestrator and the actors something to listen to and to give Doug Varone something to choreograph to...but we liked the demo so much we decided to release it here.

"Good For Me" was recorded because, well, because we didn't have a recording of it and some people (namely this one here: fuckyeahaspenvincent.tumblr.com/post/5321648106/huaalgghfdkl-good-for-me-aspen-vincent ) really want to hear the song some more. :)
