Working Girl

this title makes me laugh today - with the way conversational language changes, because back then it was only about starting to date girls that actually had jobs and some $$

Made for Television Show

These four recordings were done in Ft. Worth, TX at Sound City Studio with T-Bone Burnett. Those Guys had scored a full week on live television at WFAA in Dallas on the Sump'N'Else show and we needed some songs to lip sync on the air.
