Dad's Little Vacation

About Me

This album grew out of songs I had written a few years back and was recording at a friend's studio in Hillsboro during 2003-2004. (Seahorse Sound/Mark Jackson)I went on a vacation to see some friends and family, and during the trip heard a story about my buddy C. going to Costa Rica for two months on a wild bender with a very cute barmaid.

Pizza = News

I've always really disliked local news shows.   It's not just that the production is usually not very good, or that the newsreaders don't know how to pronounce things sometimes. It's more the sense on...
