List of Titles

Back in 1999, Henning, Brian and I were playing in the band Humbert along with Ari Vais and we recorded an incomplete album that went by the title "The Insomniac's Almanac." That moniker was provided for us by our poetry-writing friend Connolly Ryan, who also named Humbert's second CD, "The Great White Lunchroom" as well as an old solo release of mine, "Are You There, Margaret? It's Me, God." Recently I came across the list of title suggestions that Ari, Hen, Connolly and I all came up with for the stillborn 3rd Humbert album. I must warn you- more than a handful of Connolly's will make you laugh out loud (some of them would make great titles for Guided By Voices songs, too).
