about

Somewhere around 2010 I decided that I needed to start planning for something to keep me occupied in retirement. I had about 40 years of original song material packed away and decided that I would start publishing records.

I had been introduced to Mark and Andre of The Congress House Studio about a year before, and they told me that when I was ready to send them some demos. I was very tentative about this because I have never really considered myself to be a singer, but I complied.

When I was in the studio for my first session, Mark told me that I sounded like Fred Neil when I sang. I had no idea who Fred Neil was, even though I had heard Nilsson's version of a cover by him called "Everybody's Talkin' at Me" about a million times.

I looked up Neil's version of it on YouTube when I got home and sure enough, I heard the similarity. So It gave me a little comfort about the singing thing.

Mark recommended that we do Neil's "The Dolphins" and since we had been working on a compilation of cover songs for a future album, we put it in the can. Somehow it made it on this record, which is OK because I'm just tickled pink on how it came out.

I think Linda Ronstadt and a few others have covered it but I'm pretty sure you'll never hear a version as close to Fred Neil's original as this.

lyrics

The Dolphins
Fred Neil

This old world may never change
The way it’s been
And all the ways of war
Can’t change it back again

I’ve been searchin’
For the dolphins in the sea
And sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me

I’m not the one to tell this world
How to get along
I only know the peace will come
When all hate is gone

I’ve been searchin’
For the dolphins in the sea
And sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me

You know sometimes I think about
Saturday’s child
And all about the time
When we were running wild

I’ve been searchin’
For the dolphins in the sea
And sometimes I wonder
Do you ever think of me
This old world may never change
This world may never change
This world may never change
