    I will always be willing to listen to this song…and this album.
    From the AllMusicGuide:”Walking a Changing Line”:
    Over half of the compositions on this album of songs written by Jules Shear were either rare or unknown at the time — even to many Shear aficionados — including two songs from a hard-to-find Jules and the Polar Bears EP and two tracks from their then-unreleased Bad for Business album. One of the previously unheard tunes, the reflective, a cappella “On Squirrel Hill,” written about the Pittsburgh suburb where Shear grew up, couldn’t be more ideally suited to Matthews’ expressive tenor and style, and is not only one of the best moments on the record, but also of his career.

      J,
      Thank you for this. I thought it was perfect for Iain’s voice but couldn’t have said it as eloquently.
