On October 23rd, 2025, Gary Maher/The Quite Contraries joined the Fond My Mind discord server after finding out about the search effort from this wiki page. When asked about the tape, OP said:
"Back when I was at the University of Pennsylvania, I was a DJ on the AM student radio station (WQHS). We were in the same building as the school's FM station, which was a pretty big deal (and is even bigger now -- it's WXPN). They were upstairs from us. The music director at WXPN was a guy named Mike Morrison, and he was also the guitarist for a local band I loved called The Johnsons. They only had one album, but it's great. My friend Phil was on the engineering staff at both stations. One night most likely in late 1987 or 1988 (but possibly in early 1989), Phil and I were talking about The Johnsons, and he mentioned that Mike had the master reel-to-reel tape of their demo recording "Good Bums & Thieves" up in his office. So, I asked him to get me in so we could dub it, and that's what we did. I didn't have a blank tape with me, so I grabbed a Gregg Allman Band promo and taped up the record lock holes.
While the tape was dubbing, I jotted down some notes from the tape box. I listened to the tape a bunch back in the day, but it eventually found its way into a box of tapes, where it remained for 20 or so years. At some point I came across it and burned it to CD, and when I listened to it, I noticed that while the first four songs were obviously The Johnsons, the fifth song did not sound like them. To this day, I don't know if that song was on the end of the Good Bums & Thieves reel-to-reel or if I taped it from a record that was at WQHS, but I think the latter is more likely. I thought it might possibly be The Johnsons with a different member singing lead. I googled a bit but couldn't figure out what it was. In 2010, I befriended Mike Morrison on Facebook. He was excited to hear that I had a copy of Good Bums & Thieves, because he didn't have the tape anymore and hadn't heard it in many years. So, I sent it to him and asked if the fifth song was theirs, and he told me it definitely was not. That's all I know, other than my notes from the tape box.
These are my notes. There are four songs by The Johnsons on the tape: Unheld, Break Tomorrow's Day, Photo Trails and one whose name I have not been able to confirm. (Mike remembered the song but not its name.) The chorus has the line "The odds are ever changing / it's that which makes them odd." It's possible that 4th Johnsons song is Risky Business This, but it's also possible that I didn't write down the name of the 4th Johnsons song but did write down the name of the song I added to the tape".[1]

Lyrics[]
Scholastic apostate a popular figure
One reaching out for the nail on the lens
??? shot for the man on the canvas
Why am I stuck in the middle?
when I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
If you'd just let me in
And I would learn all about you
I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
If you didn't
Time without meaning ends love without moving
Lord I'm six if I could take anymore
Margarine on my knife, ole oh don't you know
Why does it dance on the griddle?
when I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
If you'd just let me in
And I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
If you didn't
Why does the hammer oh take this way not that way
Who left a fence on the crossroads of life
If the whole thing collapsed while we were driving under
Would we be stuck in the middle?
Oh, I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
If you'd just let me in
Oh I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
I could learn all about you
If you didn't.
