his unreleased solo album. More that 100,000 right side up covers, in all
formats, were printed. "Day Job" was intended for this album, but was not
included, probably due to the poor audience response to the song when it was
performed live. The album reached number seven on the charts. Much of the
album was recorded "live" on stage at the Marin County Veteran's Auditorium.
David Gans added a few lines of lyrics: "I had that "shipping powders"
couplet in my notes for a song of my own, and I thought it would fit right
into "Throwing Stones" so I gave it to Bobby, and he liked it enough to plug
it in! My other contribution was changing "You imagine me kissing the toe of
our boot" to "You imagine me sipping champagne from your boot." " "Black
Muddy River" is an examination of life at forty-five years old.
