“‘Boo Stomp’ is kind of like the proverbial red-headed step-child to me. There are elements about it I really love to this day, but there's a whole lot of cringe here. I'd love to take another crack at it one of these days. I know exactly what I'd do differently. I'd fix the cringe-ey aspects of the lyrics, for one thing. Take out the guitar which doubles the bass for another. ‘Boo Stomp’ suffers from being recorded before it was fully baked. I learned a lesson there.” ~ Wicasta Lovelace
Boo said, “Hey, girl,
Can I take you to the movies?
I'll put on some music, child,
And make it something groovy.”
She said, “Slow down, boy,
‘Cause that ain’t gonna happen.
Upgrade your play before
You take that rap in traffic.”
(Boo said)
How can you treat me this way, girl?
How can you treat me this way, girl?
Boo said, “Hey, girl,
Don’t be hatin’ on a brother.
I ain’t a looker but I
Make a mighty lover.”
She said, “Step off, boy,
‘Cause this ain’t goin’ nowhere.
I don’t do babies, child.
Run back to your mother.”
(Boo said)
How can you treat me this way, girl?
How can you treat me this way, girl?
Boo said, “Hey, girl,
There’s no need for melodrama.
I'm bein’ friendly here,
Ain’t lookin’ for no problems.”
She said, “Well face it, boy
‘Cause I ain’t into pity.
You’re some chimpanzee
That can't conjure something witty.
(Boo said)
How can you treat me this way, girl?
How can you treat me this way, girl?
Boo said, “Hey, girl,
Do you think you walk on water?
You shouldn’t be so mean,
‘Cause you’ll be gettin’ older.”
She said, “No way
Are we goin' any further
Unless you’re dipped in gold
And I should turn to butter.”
(Boo said)
How can you treat me this way, girl?
How can you treat me this way, girl?
Boo said, “Hey, girl,
Don’t you really think you're something?
I wouldn’t want you
If stripped it down to nothin’.”
I got no time for the
Pale and self-important.
Get on your broom and fly
Straight on back to Broughton.”
(Boo said)
How can you treat me this way, girl?
How can you treat me this way, girl?
Bartender said, “Girl,
Who are you insultin’?
Old Boo could buy this town
And toss it in the ocean.”
She watched him leave
In a red and black Ferrari,
Ran down the street shoutin’
“Don’t be mad, I’m sorry!”
(She said)
How can you treat me this way, Boo?
How can you treat me this way?

A cheesy video by someone who really didn't know what he was doing.
An A.I. image generated from the lyrics to this song.
When The Windws Blow was recorded in 2010 and 2011 in Saint Petersburg, Florida, and was released on May 1, 2011.
It was the culmination of a long journey for me and Victoria, in which we tried (rather unsuccessfully) to establish ourselves as an acoustic act in the Tampa Bay music scene. During the recording of the album I basically learned that I'm not really cut out for the acoustic thing, and you can feel it on the album. There's a lot of push and pull between songs that sat rather well as acoustic pieces, and other songs which seemed to want to be larger than that format allowed.
Victoria and I are both conflicted about this album. While we're fiercely proud of it, both of us concede the recording of the album was rushed and there are lots of mistakes which make us both twitch whenever we try to listen to it.
All that said, I think the album contained some great songs and I'm very proud of it. A lot was learned recording these songs, and the experience was vital to who I am now. But it would be fair to say that both Victoria and I regard the album as something of a failed experiment.
