Fee Fi Fo Fum / Americana (Painting On A Car Hood By Keith Greco)

I have cobbled together the similitude of the live performance of Fee Fi Fo Fum for a benefit for 23 Press. 23 Press was an underground L.A. magazine that published vanguard poetry. Unfortunately nothing exists of that publication now.

Fee Fi Fo Fum was:
Donald Johnson / Keys and Vocals
Javier Hernandez-Miyares / Guitar and Vocals
Alberto Hernandez-Miyares / Bass
John Millspaugh / Drums

All songs were written by Donald Johnson and Javier Hernandez-Miyares

The video was shot at Cats Paw recording studio in NYC, and the tracks were recorded at Spectrum Studios in Mineola. Most of this song was recorded on new years eve in the hours that arced between 1985 and 1986.
The song was written by Lou Reed and this version was arranged and produced by Javier Hernandez-Miyares

This is the High Fidelity version:

Sweet piano and some forlorn strings. Next week the vox will be recorded, and after that the sundries.

Where The Pieces Fall was written by Javier Hernandez-Miyares, and this arrangement in progress is by JHM, and Donald Johnson.

This is a sacred song about dialectical materialism. I invite you to follow it’s progress.

I was a child of Rock and Roll, and i wrote a song about Rock and Roll.
Donald Johnson co-wrote the lyrics. This performance of the song took place in 1986 in Elmont. This is from our last gig in New York. You can hear the crowd chant “bullshit” shortly after we finished the song; i guess that they wanted us to keep playing.

This performance was recorded at February’s in Elmont in 1986.

i wrote this song after i returned from a trip to Peru. While there i encountered the writing of Gustavo Gutierrez and he inspired this tune.

The greatest love that i have known
Is the love that knocked the king
From his throne

If you want that love at all
You have to know where the pieces Fall

The following click is the first recording of Where The Pieces Fall:

Recorded in Kunkletown Pennsylvania in 1986, on an 8 track Fostex.

Song about the first intifada and how the msm covers issues of life and death. this is a grossly ironic song about the gross indulgence of infotainment. since i wrote and recorded this song in 1989, this situation has gotten worse.

Jackboot Summer was recorded at Paramount Studio in Hollywood California, and engineered by Ralph Miller.
