Whiskey Road |
Mike won't say if this is autobiographical or not...he pleads the fifth...and the six-pack. |

Red Pickup |
Written jointly by Susan and Mike, inspired by a couple Sue noticed living out of their pickup under Seattle's Alaskan Way Viaduct. The lyrics are a guess about how they might have fallen on such hard times. |
