about

"Songs From A Northern Town"

With the exception of the song “Something Or Someone To Hold” (written in December '88) and the song “Eldorado and the 12:15″ (written in February 93), the bulk of these songs were written in 1991 and 1992.
But hey, you gotta start somewhere and this was my starting point.
I can hear the excitement in my voice when I listen to it now.
If I could talk to that guy today, oh the things I’d tell him.
The first thing I’d say would be, “Take it easy, buddy, you’re not working on a cancer cure. Don’t take it so serious.”.
Another thing I’d say would be...
“It’s gonna be a longer road than you could ever imagine…”

Enjoy,
Mike Plume
