Wow - Sounds like Joni Mitchell with a better guitar.
Man, I'm glad you posted this. But now I'm changing my answer..."Yes, " my daughter Jaimee wrote "Closer To Fine." She wrote it back when she was in college (ages 8-9).
And I went to see the doctor of philosophy,
With a poster of Rasputin and a beard down to his knee,
He never did marry or see a B-grade movie,
He graded my performance, he said he could see through me,
I spent four years prostrate to the higher mind
Got my paper and I was free
I stopped by the bar at 3 a.m.,
To seek solace in a bottle or possibly a friend,
I woke up with a headache like my head against a board,
Twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before,
And I went in seeking clarity
Pretty elemental stuff, I agree, but she was only 8, after all.
Oh, and my daughter played her Baby Taylor (true) with her FEET (sounds like it, anyway, lol).
Seriously, I remember you posting a long time ago (last October, I guess, lol), that your daughter was starting to express some interest in recording, and I was wondering why you didn't post anything...Then I figured you were probably doing some kind of classy parental protective thing, and that I therefore was probably committing some kind of internet etiquette faux paus by posting some of Jaimee's efforts, lol. Of course, it didn't stop me
Tell her I'm on my 9th listen, and there's nothing else going into the player for awhile...this is great. No way she is/was 15 - I mean, you're at least 80, right? And she's only 15? Just doesn't add up.
No more jokes; this is more than special - next time, more vocal, okay?
