"Tell Me What You See" is a throwback to our earliest years creating music together. I had been working on it for a while, little bits and pieces that finally came to fruition by the time we first recorded the then-lyric-less song in my college dorm at Antioch in February 1972.

Tad's interest in the tune was what made it tick. He helped compose the lyrics and melody, and his added guitar part gave the song a dimension I could not have hoped to conceive on my own. It was a realization that we could do much more.

By the summer we were in New York City, spending the evening hours writing and arranging new songs, either all Tad's, mostly Tad's with input from me, ideas I offered that Tad helped flesh out, or fully-collaborative. For 20- and 21-year-olds, it was a heady time.

Back on campus that Fall, we organized our own concert in late November. This performance of "Tell Me What You See" comes from that event.

The song is of its time, with moments we both now cringe. But it represents what we were then capable of, a peek into our early development as players fifty years ago this Fall.

Note: The End-Credits track comes from a 1971 home recording.
