about
The name of this album comes from something I said to my wife on our honeymoon. No, get your mind out of the gutter! That's not what I'm talking about. Besides, we're more whipped cream people.
Seriously, it was the day after our wedding and we were eating breakfast at Drake Brothers. (You should really treat yourself to it sometime, by the way, they have an excellent breakfast buffet.) We had spent the night at the Drake and were basking in our marital bliss. Sometime while enjoying during the succulent and sweet medley on my plate, I looked and saw a miniature jar of raspberry preserves on the table. I had a piece of buttered toast and spread the preserves on it. When I took a bite, it tasted, well, perfect. The moment, and the whole day was perfect. It was bliss. I told Stace that when all of life is perfect it's like "raspberry jam". She laughed and took a bite of toast. Her eyes lit up and we laughed together. Ever since, it's been an inside joke for us. When we decided to get tattoos of the phrase, we each got one: mine on my shoulder and Stacy's on her wrist.
So, when I thought to put these songs out as a collection I thought of our inside joke. Our other inside jokes would make even less sense as an album title or anything else for that matter. "I never thought about chimps having families before" will have to wait for some kind of comeback tour.
You can see Stacy's ink on the inside cover of the CD. To see mine, we'd have to set up some kind of meeting where I'd take off my shirt and I'm not into that kind of thing.
