[FairRetailRecordings] #0103 -- Houston Marchman -- Gorilla Pit

#0103

To get the full weight of this song, you really need to listen to Houston's intro to the song. Here's the link. This song comes from one of my favorite records in recent memory, 2006's Key To The Highway and is just a fantastic metaphor for, well, life.

Artist: Houston Marchman

Date: 2010.02.19

Venue: Patsy's Cowgirl Cafe

Track: Gorilla Pit

Enjoy. And support your local music scene.

I wish Chris Wall would play more gigs. I've been fortunate enough to see him a few times over the last year and have really enjoyed some of the new songs (as yet unrecorded, I believe) that he's played. Here's one of them. Another of the new ones will be coming Tuesday.
