Empty Houses Are Lonely

"Empty Houses are Lonely is a compilation of songs, most of them recorded and produced by Gregory Page, in San Diego and Poway, California. Gregory Page is the kind of person who is devoted to recording and writing and making albums - always is working on something, or helping someone. He has this great story about sitting on Paul McCartney's lap at a bull fight in Spain. His mother was part of a group from the 1960's called The Beat Chicks, and they opened the only two shows the Beatles ever did in Madrid. Apparently, right before the matador put the bull to death, Paul covered baby Gregory's eyes - pretty sweet. Not a lot of people have heard these songs - a couple of them are officially previously unreleased, 'Bars' and 'Hurt To Try'. Most of the songs come from the albums Gregory Page produced entitled 'North Dakota' and 'Outtakes, v.1 (a.k.a. 5 song demo)'. The other album from which songs were pulled is 'Late Night at Largo', produced by a fellow of the name Mark Flanagan. My whole reason for leaving San Diego, California, has a lot to do with Flanny. It was a thrill to record at Largo. Scott Fritz, who recorded 'Late Night', is pretty great, and really captured the room. He set up this one microphone and that's all we recorded with - I sat up on stage and played.
