....I'm in the middle of dreaming up my intro for the New Artist Profile in El Drama De Aly. I wake up at dawn, normally. I catch a bus, partly awake. On the bus, the world slides by as I head down Lexington Avenue, passing people who seem in an awful hurry to get to work late. I shoot them through the dirty bus window. Rush hour. If it's a new album of work, I may not have a title. Titles are important. Like the title of a movie. This title, A Likely Story, came to me out of desperation. It stuck. In the words of Ian Hunter, if I remember correctly,
"Once you have a title, the song will write itself."
I think he said that, anyway.
