Claire Gallaghan just showed up…

About 2 years ago, a young lady named Claire Gallaghan showed up at my friend’s door with a bunch of lyrics scrawled on a napkin.  My buddy, a musician, songwriter and restaurant owner mentioned that they might collaborate on a song.  Anyway, after about an hour, things were starting to take shape, and my friend called me and asked me to stop over and lay down a piano track and help finish the song. 

In 2 hours, the song was finished in its entirety, and features just guitar, piano and Claire's vocal. We recorded it in the living room and the result was unbelievable. I don't know where Claire is today, as I never saw her again after this recording, but I've said it over and over and over again: This song is an absolute hit. Maybe someone important will find this and we can give it the proper credit it deserves. This is the sum total of about 3 hours of total effort. Sometimes things just go swimmingly.
