"The back cover of the 1969 LP edition of Oar cites a single recording date for all twelve songs, December 16*. In all probability, Spence was back on his bike (motorcycle) by then."

"According to the official artist-contract cards in the Columbia archives, Spence recorded 28 pieces of music in six days, between December 3 and December 12; he sang; played bass, drums and all the guitars; and produced the album, mostly with the assistance of one Columbia staff engineer, Mike Figlio.

... there is no doubting Spence's diligence and prodigious inspiration. He taped no less than 18 different tracks on his final day of recording*, including Oar's original, harrowing climax, the nine-and-a-half minute, bass-drums-and-vocal prayer, "Grey / Afro".

She'd probably try to stick it in her snatch like she did that one time I asked her to hold my eggbeater*.BadComrade wrote:Like my mom knows how to use a computer.

Oh, and even my mom has some standards. She'd never do a guy who wears silicone bracelets like you do:
Not to mention, you can't pick a hooker up on a 10 speed.
