"St. Christopher" is also a Ric track I have on a Monk bootleg, that was
recorded at The Garden, in the Chicagoland area. I'm from San Antonio,
though I received the bootleg -- albeit cassette -- from my brother-in-law
at DePaul. He sets up the song talking about, as I remember it, his hip
grandmother driving a scary, fast car, and him hanging on for life, praying
to the little St. Christopher statuette for safety.

Also on those True Tunes compilations (on the second one) is an *awesome*
song, Swimming,  by the ever-great Chris Taylor. It's a song he dedicates
to the late great Jeff Buckley.
