DAMAGE CONTROL (Lyrics by Jonathan Borca)
The dance weighs, the dance waits, the dance plays
We underweigh stakes but who's to blame
We're underway, eyes to skies, but not awake
Somewhere between ebbs and lows
Cities and towns, he stands
Worrisome, worn, but wise; Gentle hands, but callous
A foot in the past, a foot forward
How far do I reach, and to what extent
The dance plays in many ways, so he dances
A foot forward, a foot in the past. Dance-
Aim to gain, against the grain
Script the page, you're entertained
It ain't the same, it ain't the same, see
Things have changed, things, things, have changed
The price to claim, is hard to gauge
This age today ain't meant to aim
Engaged, inept apt to attain and tame
More ways to lay, even more to waste and
Many more you see or you seize, or
There's many more seeds to obtain, you see
You seek being extra pays
Being selfless weighs, distaste or displace
These golden, dismantled 'O' days
Out the phrasin’, in out of phases
Oh, the places we'll go
It's not okay
Displays matter more than what's on stage
Out of towners don't see him no more
The shine in the wrinkle no more
The value and the richness is more
In the people, the culture, praises, and faces
Where home lays - Cinderella Lane
A foot forward, a foot in the past. The balance.
Down to the name or how you say it, you see
You can be named by a settler
And not choose to settle
Say the name the way it was intended
Mother voices, he recalls. Every. Single. Time.
Again then again then, you know what?
My family begins like this, but you can call me that
Once friends with farmers and residents too
The scenery and greenery grew, agriculture drew
Like an artist knew the scene to lure
A boom to a new chapter, a new feed
Fertility breeds, opportune, growing needs
Growth breeds tech, and tech breeds boom
Unrest looms
It's the city of growth, eyes to skies
We'll be okay, on Cinderella Lane
DO SOMETHING (Lyrics by Juanita Harris)
This world does not belong to you and me
We’ve lost the meaning of what it means to be free
Misogyny, hatred and so much bigotry
What do you do in the face of such blatant anger
and greed?
We take a stand. We stand as one
There’s no mistaking what needs to be done
Lean into the winds of opposition
Take position
Stand for what is right. Fight for your life
We’re on a mission
You've got to do something
Take the time and figure out
What you can do something
You better scream
You better shout
You better do something
Before the bill comes due
You've got to do something
Before they come for you
Don't be fooled by your false security
This affects you too. Get your butts up from the pews
Can’t you see you're getting screwed?
Tell me what you plan to do about it
We take a stand. We stand as one
There's no mistaking what needs to be done
Lean into the winds of opposition
Take position
Stand for what is right. Fight for your life
We're on a mission
You've got to do something
Take the time and figure out
What you can do something
You better scream
You better shout
You better do something
Before the bill comes due
You've got to do something
Before they come for you
TABULA RASA (LET THE WIND COME IN)
(Lyrics by William Bohrer)
How can I believe what you say?
The color of the sky won’t always be that way.
There is an open door. Since you've gone astray
I have let the wind come in, to try and wipe my slate.
How can I be released from this pain?
The color of your love has left my heart stained.
That no amount of rain can ever wash away
I will let the water flow, 'til I don't even know.
'Til I can feel the rain on my skin again.
'Til I can think of you as too good to be true.
My eyes might be missing a spark or two.
My flame alone won't warm me the whole night through.
There is an open door. Since I fell for you
I let the wind come in, now I must wipe my slate.
'Til I can feel the rain on my skin again.
'Til I can think of you as too good to be true.
My eyes might be missing a spark or two.
My flame alone won't warm me the whole night
through.
There is an open door. Since I fell for you
I tried to let you in, but all that happened then,
was I let the wind come in, now I must wipe my slate.
LOOKIN' FOR THE REAL THING
(Lyrics by William Bohrer)
I can see like I never had before
My eyes have adjusted to the dark
There's no hidin' now. It's ail on the table
So come get your lovin’ whenever you're able
Soul searching for a mate has no time to sit and wait
Goin' nowhere fast for you
I just want to see it through
Maybe we can find a way. Get some lovin' here today
I gotta let you know...
I'm lookin' for the real thing, baby
I’m thinkin', thinkin', help me maybe
I could teach ya what ya never had before
It s the right place at the right time to close the door
But just one minute before I follow through
Go ahead and ask yourself, what are you gonna do?
Soul searching for a mate has no time to sit and wait
Goin’ nowhere fast for you
I just want to see it through
Maybe we can find a way. Get some lovin’ here today
I gotta let you know...
I'm lookin' for the real thing, baby
I'm thinkin', thinkin', help me maybe

A note from our band leader...
First, to the band...We did it! A whole year of hard work, rehearsing, writing, rewriting, arguing {only a
little), recording, and promoting, and it's finally here! I can't thank you ail enough for going on this journey
with me. Thank you for dealing with backyard rehearsals in that heat all summer. Thank you for putting up
with my grumpiness during the more stressful times of this process. Thank you for showing up to all of
those long rehearsals leading up to the session. And thank you for playing your asses off during recording!
I couldn’t be happier with the finished product, and you all should be proud of yourselves.
To those of you that put in extra effort and worked closely with me to get this album made, I'm extremely
grateful. Rigo, Faris, and Jerry, I thank you so much for handling most of the logistics with the Indigogo,
recording, mastering, etc, giving me more time to focus on the music and the band. Nichole, this album
literally could not have been made without you. Thank you for putting so much of your personal time into
writing and arranging all of these great charts! Veronica, Faris, Jerry, Juanita, Alvin, Will, Nichole, Brendan,
and Scott, thank you for writing and arranging this album. Aaron, thank you for writing the chart that
ended up being the missing piece of the puzzle. Nichole and Veronica, thank you for being my rocks
throughout this entire thing; you kept me sane during the chaos, gave me great guidance, and helped me
learn to trust myself in making decisions regarding the group. I love you guys.
AJ, thank you for allowing me to be picky during the mixing process and for e-mailing back and forth with
me until we got it right. Ellen, thank you for making my house (and the band) look so cool on the cover!
Noli, thanks for providing us with a much needed rehearsal space the week of the session. Brooke, thanks
for listening to my ramblings about this project all year at work. Oscar, thanks for sitting in with the group
for this session; it was a pleasure to have you. Thank you Jonathan for reuniting with me on this project - it
was a lot of fun working together again. Thanks to Tim Spacek, Bill Nicolosi, Steve Barnhill, and Gus
Kambeitz for not only being great band directors to me over the years, but helping to provide me with the
tools I need to run this band. Many thanks to the Alum Rock Jazz Program; had it not been for that
program, I don't know that I would be leading a big band at all today. Also thank you to each person that
contributed to our Indiegogo campain!
And of course, I'd like to thank my Mom and Dad for allowing me to continue to pursue music throughout
my life from a young age, and for giving me such a wide and amazing variety of music to listen to growing
up. Thank you ail!
-Gabby
On behalf of the entire band, we'd like to thank everyone at Fantasy Studios, especially Adam, for putting
up with our shenanigans for a whole weekend, and for making us sound awesome in the studio. We'd also
like to thank Steve and Ruth Horlick for allowing us to wreck their house during Sunday rehearsals. We
promise we re working on getting those broken lamps replaced soon! Thank you to Tabard Theater, and to
the Vado family at Art Boutiki, for providing such great venues for a band our size to play at here in San
Jose. Thank you to everyone that helped us out with this project, and thanks to everyone that has
supported us over the years! We'll see you at the next show!
