Some Notes on At Night All Cats Are Grey" At Night All Cats Are Grey is not so much an album as it is an official bootleg of songs that I was playing live a lot in 1999 and early 2000 - most of the songs are poorly-recorded live tracks or demos. I felt that I had to get the songs out of the way before I could write new stuff. That said, a lot of people did seem to like it - I still get letters about it. There are songs of which I'm still proud; "Stormy Season" still gets played a lot, for instance. Some may eventually be re-recorded - in fact, "Let The Toast Pass" was short-listed to be on Clark Street Carols early on. I'm particularly pleased with "St. James," which was a parody of "guess the hidden meaning" type songs. It's about a guy who is gradually coming to realize that his girlfriend is ______." Recently I listened to the album for the first time in about five years, and found that it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought - keep in mind, though, I thought it was pretty bad. It is still not coming back into print. For the record, the tracklist was: 1. Black is the Color (Selzer) Copyright 1999 by Adam Selzer ASCAP 2. Cardboard Box (Selzer) Copyright 2000 by Adam Selzer ASCAP 3. Rosebud (Selzer) Copyright 2000 by Adam Selzer ASCAP 4.
