Words By Mary Ellen Meikle
A Summer Day (mp3) is a song dawn pieced together in 1990. We recorded it on a friend’s 1/4” 8-track in 1992 for a Vandal Children Records project which was eventually scrapped (a live version of the song was included on the Charlie’s cassette). The lyrics were taken from an Everyday Books collection of Mary Ellen Meikle’s heartbreaking poetry. Back then Everyday Books still had a cafe/bookstore in Willimantic.
The words to “A Summer Day” are buried under the guitars and drums, but Mary Ellen Meikle’s entire One Day I Went Looking For Myself collection has been scanned and can be read online. The book provides a glimpse at the reality of an often hard hit life.

Normstock Video
Chad Heston uploaded to youtube what he could salvage from our Normstock set (watch it here). Chad, a.k.a. Astrobunny, has many other videos posted on his youtube page, and as much as I appreciate his having generously taken the time to document our first public performance in eleven years, I’d recommend skipping our clip and having a look at some of his more compelling video. This excerpt from the CHUCK HESTONS movie and this footage of Emma Weiss singing and playing her homemade banjo are two of my favorites.
