For some reason , a few days ago
And was glad to find a vid of them
Live.
Strange how some things you never forget …
And while I only knew Lisa.. for only a brief
Moment..She lit up my heart and
Made life bearable for a moment
In very dark days… She was an angel to me ..in the spirit and lifted me up in the heart As my world was crashing in on
Me.
As I remember looking back
I definitely fell for her and her raw and vulnerable spirit …sweet and strong
Spirit shining in the dark
She did Shine in her own
Misery and I really needed it
And will never forget her spirit
And smile.
I remember a dog Named Jesso.. I drew a picture of.
I remember Her friend Katia
And her easy going spirit.
I am grateful to have been there…
It was like watching something amazing..
Like a comet In the sky.. happen
In front of you and you knew ..you’d
never see anything like it again …. her words just shook you up and flushed you out too.
She took my breath away
And I didn’t feel so alone.. after hearing her songs …I truly loved them.
I was sad to hear her split too..
I had the album ,I got at her party
but I lost it in my travels ..
my heart always broke over it
So glad to find it again
I always keep her memory
in my heart . she’s just
Like lightning ..I was struck
By her
Truly loved them and
W Mark’s quiet and kind ,way …was perfect
Balance.. to the fire she was.
Glad to read all your moments
W them too
Seems like ..we are all on the
Same page
About BMFH
A virtual earthquake of
Intimate brokenness
And heartache all mixed up.
Love you Lisa Girl
Where ever you are …
Stay as Beautiful as you Are!
Your friend
Tracy

Hi Kim, glad to hear you were in touch with her. It’s a shame she’s still mixed up with that crowd, but I hope she’s happy. That was such an unexpected turn of events when that happened. I still can’t really believe it.

I echo what everyone has said. Lisa was my first girlfriend and changed my life forever. I spoke with her maybe four years ago and she was still in the cult. Such a bummer.

I think we recorded it all in one night, or maybe two. There’s one song on here where you can hear the band next door to the studio rehearsing that I wasn’t able to remove from the mix. We did a full length record about a year later which I recall being just as magical as this demo tape. They were definitely the darlings of the local scene for a while back then before Lisa up and left town suddenly (which made us all very sad as she was a lovely person…..still miss her).
Brad also disappeared….he moved down to (I think) the Carolinas back in the late 90s.
Mark is still around and if he’s doing music, I haven’t heard about it.
Scott is around as well and I think he’s still doing music from time to time.
I’m still working in the recording industry making records.
Thank you Jim Santo for posting this. It was such a pleasure to hear after all these years.

To Jon from above comment-your poem moved me….she made quite an impression on all of us.

Lisa, My god Lisa
I don’t even remember your face girl
It’s been 20 years since you came
A colorful angel, a sprite
To that tiny house where Marti had one side
Her mom and baby sister had the other
I was in my final moments of destruction
And Marti lit candles for me
To chill the fuck out – to calm me down
And we did ear candles
She was disgusted by my ear wax
And we listened to your tape in reverence
And we dreamed of being as talented as you

And you came, a whirlwind that the desert had never seen
Sparking Fire Fire Fire
You threw water in my sisters face (thank you)
You couldn’t understand how far we drove from Phoenix to Chandler
For a New Years party
Your Filaberto’s chicken burrito was disgusting
I was disappointed because I wanted you to like Mexican food

We took you to the lake I had never been to
You wanted to see if Mexican Jumping Cactus jumped
It did, You got stung, I helped you pull out the needles
You sang us these songs
Marti and I sat in the moonlight
And silently tried to hide
How much we worshiped you

Then coyotes came and we left the tent where it was
And went home
When you disappeared to join a cult it wounded us
And Lisa, Girl
Marti’s not here anymore
And listening to these songs exploded chambers in my heart
Explosive fucking tears darling
Because there’s no one left to remember their brilliance

I have no words to relate the love I had for you and her
Regardless if no one remembers these songs
Of all the beautiful things the universe has ever created
You singing Marti and I these songs in the moonlight
Is a moment preserved in the Louvre of the Universe
-Jon
