Kid 08:20
Sit, sit down and smile for a bit Looks like you need it, kid I wouldn't kid ya, kid What would you like to do? Would you like to dance? Well I would too. If I looked like you, kid. (variations abound)
2.
Pocket 08:16
Picking through my pocket Found you that locket You know, the one I bought last week At the shore Peeking through your window Tellme, how could I know? You'd look just like that girl, last week At the store Gotta teach myself to want to find you... now

The Church 04:33

Smoke 05:14
Got to the party Didn't know a soul Danced with your mother She did a twist and a roll Got up round the corner Saw a bum on the side Tossed that man a dollar Cuz his bottle was so dry so, I smoke now.

Well, I woke up in a cold, cold sweat I don't know how I got to bed My head was sore and my eyes were red And I don't remember what you said Oh yeah, you said, "Come on baby, don't test me Come on babe, now I can see You've been out drinking all night Well, it's time to get ready for a fight" (chorus) And that's just another night for me That's just another night, where I can't see I guess that's just another night, for little old me (third verse is usually a rip-off of an old big band tune "What's the Use in Getting Sober, if You're gonna Get Drunk Again")
7.
Spencer 04:18
Touch me and poke me and widdle your way But don't call me Spencer Fondle and fiddle and giggle away But don't call me Spencer Call me Superman, or your right hand Call me Oliver Drake, call me a mistake Call me a poet and then claim that you wrote it Leftovers on bread, write me off dead, but don't (chorus) Don't call me Spencer McMillan Fry III Think of me and drink to me and have a good day But don't call me Spencer Have a ball, give a call and ride it all day But don't call me Spencer Call me a sinner, call me late for dinner Say that I'm dirty and I'll never reach thirty Call me a poet and then claim that you wrote it Ben's a big ugly dog and he smells like a hog (again... there are many variations)

about

Back in the day, our brother Chris Friday recorded a slew of Shu shows. A few years ago he gave Bob the box of cassettes which then sat dormant in a closet for years.

Now Chris' son Iggy is battling leukemia. So we decided to dig that box of tapes out and share them with you all. Every couple of weeks or so we will release a new bootleg from one of our shows. We have recordings that span the entire 28 year history of Shu, so it should be a lot of fun! 100% of the proceeds go directly to the Friday family. First up.... "Boots 4 Iggy: Volume 1 - Valentine's 8/22/96"

Recorded live @ the legendary Valentine's in Albany, NY on August 22, 1996 (obviously). This was at the peak of Shu's constant mid-90's touring schedule. We were playing 4 or 5 nights a week all over the Northeast. It was a pretty wild time.

It's all here; bad jokes, free beer, and constant, unhinged, sometimes brilliant improvisation. If you have ever been to a Shu show then you are familiar. If you haven't then now is a great time to start! You can help out a good kid who needs it, while all the while enjoying some 90's hippie Jam/Ska/Acid Rock/Pop/Jazz. It's a win/win.

Peace
Shu
