Howard Fields is the name engraved on the neck plate of my Jazzmaster. This is most likely the name of one of her previous lovers and I’ve always fantasized about it. Judging by the poor conditions he was when I found her in that pawn shop, Howard wasn’t too nice to her. Or maybe yes, and engrave his name was a love dunk, a way of saying darling, you’ve been mistreated, but now I’m here for you. Then he went bad again and She was still the one who paid the price. She always gave me more than I asked her to, for this reason when Howard called me to get her back I said sorry, she doesn’t trust you anymore. I must confess I never told her. Dai cazzo, sono passati trent'anni...
Most of the songs in this compilation come from the recording sessions of Headquarter Delirium (LP Pocket Heaven, 2008) and if you look at the notes you find a lot of nice people involved.
