Song about F. Scott's wife who died here in a fire at the Highland Hospital back in 1947.

And I have to mention, before we move on, that my mother went to this church.

That's so cool.

I used to come here to church with her back in the early two thousands.

So mom, if you're, if you're there, if you're watching isn't this crazy?

It's changed a little bit.

Crazy, right?

All right, so we're gonna do, these are all original tunes.

This one I co-wrote with Michael Gamble.

And it's about Beacham's Curve in West Asheville, which is the spot where Heywood Road takes a hard 90-degree turn and heads down toward the river.

And I took some of my grandfather's stories about riding on the trolley and set a love story there in the trolley.

So this is "Beacham's Curve", and it just won best soundtrack at Music Video Asheville.

Whew.

[all laughing] Okay.

A one, two.

A one, two, three, four.

It's about the daughter of the Vanderbilt family who built a little shack called the Biltmore House.

And she had a fabulous coming out party when she turned 21, a masquerade ball.

And you can still see the paintings there in the basement of the Biltmore.

This is a song about her.

It's called "Cornelia's Masquerade".

And a one, a two, a one, two, three, four.

- I'm gonna take a quick second to shout out Matt Williams, who's playing violin for us.

Because Matt Williams engineered, recorded, mastered, and produced our album, "Asheville".

He is the man behind the magic curtain, the wizard, amazing.

So, all right, so this next tune is "Beaucatcher" like the mountain.

It is the only Beaucatcher in the world.

And it got its name from the guy for whom Patton Avenue is named, George Patton.

Had a sister-in-law whose name was Charlotte, for whom Charlotte street is named.

And she used to take her boyfriend out walking on the mountain and he would tease her that she was trying to catch her beau.

It's where the mountain got its name.

So this is "Beaucatcher".

And a one, two, a one, two, three.

- [James] This tune is about pants.

- It is a tune about pants.

Should we do the skronky version?

- Yeah.

- Every time.

- Wanna skronk it?

Okay, so James wrote the music to this tune and brought it to me.

And I turned it into a song about my grandfather's tailor shop, which was downtown on Pack Square.

He inherited it from his uncle.

It closed down in the fifties when Sears and Roebuck came along with ready made suits that were much cheaper than the tailors could afford to make.

So it put most tailors in America out of business.

So this is "Logan and Moore".

Again, taken directly from their ads.

So it is indeed a song about pants.

I mean like, good skronk, right?

Like an 8 out of 10.

- [James] Yeah, all right.

- We don't want to get too skronky, break everything.

- Pants are a little dirty - A one, a two.

A one, two, three, four.
