Saturday's B-Sides Show: Success!

Had a great time on Saturday. A lot of friends and fans came in and the feedback was all positive. What amused me was hearing people's reactions range from, "WOW I haven't heard those songs in a long time!" to "WOW I love the new stuff!" :) For people who haven't known my music pre-2009, none of the songs I played on Saturday were familiar. But the set list did draw a lot of old friends. And for that I'm grateful.

Still working to get some other vids from the show. There are some complications I will not get into with that task... but fingers crossed and silent prayers mouthed, we may see some results... in the meantime, below is a video from my FlipCam of "The Kind of Girl", a previously never-performed song I wrote in 2007. Lyrics are below the vid and a setlist of the show is below that.

Also, if you want to see some pictures, Jude Tan took a bunch that kick mucho ass. Check those here. One of my (many) favorites:







The Kind of Girl (2007) - Lyrics and music by Alfa Garcia

Where do we go, from here?
The light is on but the neighbors all have disappeared.
It's quiet enough / by the streetlights
to tell you these things / left in hindsight.

This isn't love, we're still young but we're old enough to know that it's games that we play...baby...

CHORUS:
Oh, I'm the kind of girl you wouldn't wanna fall for
wouldn't wanna fall for, baby.
Oh, you're the kind of man who needs someone to sing for
someone you can figure out...

It's easy enough / I think
To bury the hatchet / bury the hatchet and move our own way
I know this must sound cold / but I've traveled the road
and I wouldn't wanna put you through it.

This isn't love, we're still young but we're old enough / to know that it's games that we play
We'll talk for hours / and I won't change my mind
'cause I'd rather it ended this way... baby.

CHORUS

BRIDGE:
Either way the story goes / pretty soon the world will know what a good man you are.
And as for me I'll be just fine / catching hearts like fireflies
While playing my guitar / playing my guitar...
