about

Fred Drake referred to this as "Tony's hit song" when he and Tony Mason first recorded the tracks, with Fred on drums. Tony asked me if I had any words and I happened to have several verses for something called "As a Matter of Policy" in my notebook. Due to the length of the track, there was space to recite a piece I'd written for my friend David Cubellis, who had recently committed suicide, as well as a piece of a longer poem called "Stones," written many years earlier in New York. After putting the drums on the song, Fred commented sarcastically at the end, "You could have made it longer, Tony!" You can hear Elia laugh, as she was in the tracking room shooting a video of Fred playing.
