The Boy With Blue Skin

Excuse the audio but this was salvaged from a 2nd or 3rd generation dub of a rough mixed demo recorded on a 4-track cassette recorder in the Summer of 1990. I had written the song in May of 1990 not long after Ryan White passed away. I hated the hypocrisy I witnessed at the time in the press from so many who hadn't been there before when he could've used the support. It all inspired this song. It is also special to me because it was the last song I played for my Grandfather. He saw me writing it and asked about it. I didn't think he'd appreciate it but he really seemed excited by it. I wanted to play it in Direwolf but we could never get in the pocket of it and after a while, I stopped asking. I was thrilled to discover this old recording though and wanted to archive it here on my YouTube page.
