Walking in Memphis
For a host of reason’s I’m not about to discuss here, last Friday night was a pretty bad night. The evening ended with me drinking alone in my apartment and watching X-Files DVDs. Not one of my better days, but these things happen. One of the episodes, however, was The Post-Modern Prometheus, and even inebriated, I was keenly aware that it was the finest hour of television I’d ever before seen. The show ends with Mulder and Scully dancing to the tune Walking in Memphis, which I suddenly found myself so in love with that I had to learn how to play it right then and there. It was about 1 a.m. by the time I’d figured it out, so I decided against recording it that night, but I meant to come back to it.
Tonight I finally found the time to lay down the tracks and mix them into something that, at the least, I’m not entirely embarrassed by. Feedback is completely welcome, though I should point out in advance that I’m not a good singer and am very much aware of that. I’m still working on it.

P.S. – My new neighbor totally rocks! She knocked on my door while I was recording this and I thought it was to tell me hey, it’s late, keep it down over there, but no: she was just bringing over cupcakes!
