THE DAUPHINE a carryover from my days wandering around Coldwater Canyon. But don't get excited, it's an instrumental. and speaking of mental, that's where I'm going; trying to make a rock and roll record out of a list of songs that is at once gorgeous and sleepy. Didn't I promise 'guitars, guitars, guitars'!
