    Met them in Berkley at Blakes Restaurant in 1994. I approached them, asked if they were the IGs. They politely said yes. I told them I liked their music and wished them well, they responded in kind. Very nice ladies. I then went back to my job and cooked for them. Never forgot how genuinely pleasant and nice they were to me as an average Joe who just walked up to them.

    I took an ASL class decades ago and this song was my final project. Saw them in the mid-90s at an outdoor venue in downtown San Diego, the Harbor, a 5 block walk from where I lived. OMG....a perfect day, billowy puffy clouds, love in the air, and it was free! It was so wonderful!! Ah...The last of the good ol' days.

    I sit two stories above the street
    It's awful quiet here since love fell asleep
    There's life down below me though
    The kids are walking home from school
    Some long ago when we were taught
    That for whatever kind of puzzle you got
    You just stick the right formula in
    A solution for every fool
    I remember the time when I came so close to you
    Sent me skipping my class and running from school
    And I bought you that ring 'cause I never was cool
    What makes me think I could start clean slated
    The hardest to learn was the least complicated
    Oh, I just sit up in the house and resist
    And not be seen until I cease to exist
    A kind of conscientious objection
    A kind of dodging the draft
    The boy and girl are holding hands on the street
    And I don't want to but I think you just wait
    It's more than just eye to eye
    Learn the things I could never apply
    I remember the time when I came so close with you
    I let everything go it seemed the only truth
    And I bought you that ring, it seemed the thing to do
    What makes me think I could start clean slated
    The hardest to learn was the least complicated
    So what makes me think I could start clean slated
    The hardest to learn was the least complicated
    Oh, I'm just a mirror of a mirror myself
    All the things that I do
    And the next time I fall I'm gonna have to recall
    It's isn't love it's only something new
    I sit two stories above the street
    It's awful quiet here since love fell asleep
    There's life down below me though
    The kids are walking home from school
    I remember the time when I came so close with you
    Sent me skipping my class and running from school
    And I bought you that ring 'cause I never was cool
    What makes me think I could start clean slated
    The hardest to learn was the least complicated
    So what makes me think I could start clean slated
    The hardest to learn was the least complicated
    The least complicated
    The least complicated
