This is the last in a series of eight albums of material recorded by Briyan Frederick on Tascam portable 4-track between 1982-1987.
- “I Thought About You” words and music by Briyan Frederick. Solo recording, acoustic guitar and vocal.
- “Dancing In a Minefield” words by Briyan Frederick, music by Wayne Baker and Briyan Frederick. I came home one day and went down into our recording studio in the basement and this was in the 4-track, complete but for a lyric/vocal and a guitar solo. So I did something without asking Wayne. I guess he thought it worked ‘cos he finished it off with the guitar solo at the end.
- “Black and White Rainbows” words and music by Briyan Frederick. This is a solo recording made at the house in 7th Avenue in Salt Lake. The organ is from a cheap keyboard Wayne had.
- “Every Now and Then” words and music by Briyan Frederick. Solo recording. Roland TR707 drums. I think this is a Casio CZ1000 keyboard track.
- “Barking Doctrine” music by Briyan Frederick. Here I’m improvising a few tracks of acoustic guitar over top a loop of our basset hound, Cleo, barking. I recorded that into a Ibanez digital delay which had a sample hold I used a few times in actual songs.
- “When You Come To Me” words and music by Briyan Frederick. Solo recording. TR707 finger drumming and my best attempt at doo wop. Let’s call it endearing.
- “Hey! Can Anyone See?” words and music by Briyan Frederick. Solo recording.
- “A Pantomime For the Blind (excerpt)” words and music by Briyan Frederick. This is from the original recording. Gregg came over and did the vocal and added the sax to my otherwise solo track. I replaced Gregg’s vocal at some point for an album I was making but kept Gregg’s outro vocal.
- “I Can Tell You” words and music by Briyan Frederick. I made this while Wayne and his guitars were away. The guitars here are my Sears catalog Gibson copy which I still have. The body anyway. Wayne was like that bad kid next door in Toy Story. Always taking things apart.
- “When the Shepherd Sleeps” words and music by Briyan Frederick. This is the original solo recording.
- “Hangover” music by Briyan Frederick. Solo recording. I titled the song after making it. It was an exploration for me, playing something outside of scale or anything.
- “I Didn’t Start the War” words and music by Briyan Frederick. Solo recording in the basement of the house on 7th Avenue in Salt Lake. Electric guitar and bass with excessive processing through the Ibanez rack digital delay. I included this one GAJOOB’s first compilation CD.
- “So Long Since High School” words by Briyan Frederick, music by Briyan Frederick and Gregg Allen. Gregg is playing lead guitar and singing all the vocals, while I’m playing the rest. I think the bass is keyboard. Gregg used to bring one over and this may have been that one. We only had cheap portables then. Gregg loved doing these 50’s style doo wops so this was written to order for that. We had a lot of fun making it and playing for people.
- “Goodbye, Old Friend” words and music by Briyan Frederick. I had to finish off the Doris series with this one. It closed the original cassette release back in the day as well. This is me solo with just voices. One of them is a voice I used to do with my childhood friend, Jeff Porter. We called ourselves Bubs and we talked in this voice for hours just making up stuff. So this song is in that vein. Maybe one day it will close out a variety show in style.
