Little Green Lady (demo) mp3 download (right-click to download/left-click to stream) Written and Performed by Dean Friedman / Recorded circa 1979/1980 Musicians: Dean Friedman - Vocals and Piano About the Track: I must have written Little Green Lady sometime in my late teens, while attending City College of New York, because I can remember playing it in my composition class to the perplexed reaction of my music professor. It was written for a young lady I fell in love with when I was 14 and traveled thousands of miles to Israel to see, to the great consternation of her orthodox Jewish parents who, I recall, were less than thrilled when I showed up on their doorstep, one day, to see their daughter. Eventually, they forbid me to see her, although a few years later we wound up secretly living together in the Bronx, that is, until we were photographed kissing under the George Washington Bridge during a Hudson River Boat Jazz Festival cruise. Our secret was revealed when the picture of us kissing was published the next day in the centerfold of the New York Daily News. I was, partly, trying to express how radically different the worlds we'd grown up in were, or at least seemed to be, at the time, thus the alien reference. And as it happens, her surname was Green. This is a simple vocal/piano demo I recorded sometime late 70's or early 80's, and I have always meant to record it properly, one of these days.
