Jerm Boor - Demo Tape
Jerm was a guy I knew at St. John’s College, Santa Fe, NM, who played the guitar like a laser cuttlefish and wrote a few really good funny songs. “Euclid”, “Pedro the Frog”, and “I Left My Heart in Tenochtitlan” stick out from this tape. Other classic Jerm Boor songs were “What’s a Floor For?” and “The German Philosopher’s Love Song”, which contained the lyric “Hegel, I Goethe Goethe have you cause I Nietzsche Nietzsche Nietzsche so bad.”
He certainly was on track to writing guitar instrumentals as good as Leo Kottke. After a year or two at SJC, he left school and (I believe) music behind, and was last known to be a Russian Orthodox monk.
I think he may be a real genius.
