Flowers
for Gisa, Reachin'
(2002)
Song history:
This is Track 5 from FGC's debut studio album, Reachin', which
I recently listened to from start to finish for the first time in probably
two years! "Flowers for Gisa" was one of FGC's earliest tunes
and was written by Jordan in mid-2001 during a family trip to France.
Although "Gisa" isn't quite representative of FGC's overall
sound, it's a nice showcase of our vocal harmonies and features a killer
bass solo by yours truly. :) But don't expect to hear this tune at a live
FGC show; according to setlist.com, the last time we played it was back
in March of 2002. I guess you'll just have to buy
the album!

Photo History: In conjuction with the mp3 from our studio album, I thought a picture from the studio where we recorded it would be appropriate. The photo above depicts what we fondly referred to as "Keyboard World" while recording Reachin' in the Spring of 2002. "Well, where's Jordan?", you might ask. Oh, he's off in the control room, using the computer to fix all the mistakes he just made in the last take. :)
