Episode notes

"He's Knocking At My Door", a demo tape with lyrics by Miguel de la Vega and Gordon Florence. Recorded by National Songwriters Guild, 2421 Walnut Rd., Pontiac, Michigan and performed by "unknown" musicians. It was around 1970 when my step-brother Miguel Ernesto Lasso DeLaVega, known as "Mickey" to his friends, began writing volumes of song lyrics. He may have started earlier with poems, but my brother passed in 1991 so I'll never know.
