after meeting Paula at Kay’s lounge - 1992

Beginning in 1984 and off and on, up to 2016, I made a series of audio recordings, first with a boom box cassette recorder, then with a telephone answering machine, then with a mini-DV camera, and finally, with an iPhone. 

For most of that time I was drunk.
