It was little things … she always had to order the most expensive thing on a restaurant menu. If it was duck sautéed in rat piss, she'd want it if it was twice the price of everything else.
It was little things … once when the bill came, I paid for it in cash and she nearly died of embarrassment. 'That was so uncool,' she said. 'Where's your credit card?' I thought she'd have been happy I was paying for her duck and rat piss, but no …
… yeah, little things set us down the wrong road, you know?
She always used to say … (indistinct)
'Pardon me, my lovely?'
(indistinct)
… and I never had a clue what she meant by that.
It was little things … I can't put my finger on anything and say, you know, that put a bomb under us. It was just a gradual accumulation of little things … you know … little things.
It was stuff like … she used to go on about my driving … 'oh, you forgot to indicate coming off that roundabout.'
'That's okay,' I'd say. 'I'll drive.'
And she'd say: 'You're not doing a very good job of it.'
And I'd say: 'Do you want to get out and walk?'
It was little things … it was things like … she grew up on fairytales, thinking that one day she'd marry her Prince Charming. And now some schmuck was inviting her to get out of his car … and do you know what? That's exactly what she did! She got out and refused to get back in again … and it was all just over little things.
Her last words to me were … (indistinct)
And I was like: 'Sorry dear?'
(indistinct)
… but it was still Greek to me ...

It's cool... Ms Casey is sort of the internet equivalent of friend from school :] I've been chatting with her intermittently on SoundCloud for a few years... I remember how excited she was to start setting up her home studio√ This is like going away to a different Jr. High & coming back for her graduation. Good people :] Glad to see you succeeding!

Joseph Houck is one of those rare songwriters. His songs capture all the mystery, longing, sadness, and simple joys of being alive. A truly special American voice. Pall of a Past World
The 2nd album from the fine couple contains 12 tracks over 49 minutes. The material for this album is a lot stronger and its very much an album that works very well from the first song to the last, with perhaps only "Tyburn Fair" letting it down slightly. The album flows like a fine wine with one track leading into the other as it transgresses along, and will have you coming back for more. It's very much a solid body of work with many classics along its path. I would recommend this album 100%. Lee Lucas
