Thos cassette holds two unreleased versions of a song called Softer and Slow. I wrote it walking between my house and the bar over a few nights; that weird part came after the bar. It’s got the Grateful Dead Festival part as the bridge. I’d kicked it around for years and finally recorded it at Scenic Burrows in October 2025 with Cory Gray,  with Dan Galucki on drums and Sunny Galucki on boxing gloves and background talkery. The tape cover shows a salmon I caught while fishing with Cory.
