Summer, Etc. |
I made a new background today, because change is good. A friend whom I haven't seen for 20 years, but have thought about often, found me on another social networking site. We had lunch yes...

New Background |
Thanks to Sonja for the new backgound. She's a very creative person, who somehow figured out that I was raised in a secret colony on the moon. I thought the government was better at ...

St Mary of Bethlehem |
I wrote this song about a year ago, and have tried recording it several times. It's long and has a lot of verses. The title is the name of the oldest insane asylum in Europe (also known as...

Dylan Wins a Pullitzer |
Bob Dylan won a Pulitzer Prize. This is surprising not because he doesn't deserve one, but because they usually don't award them to pop musicians. I remember about 10 years ago when I hear...

Red Wine and Hamburgers |
I wrote this song a few months ago, and things were pretty bad for me then. It’s not really biographical at all--maybe some of the feelings behind it, but characters and events are all fic...

Lexicon Omega |

Old Gray Cat |
I wrote this over a period of about 15 years. It evolved from a chain of haiku that I wrote, and somehow, it turned into a blues song. The vocals and acoustic guitar are first take. ...

Death Letter Blues |
I just uploaded this tune. It was supposedly composed by Son House in the late 1920's, but some sources say that he probably learned it from someone else. A lot of people have recorded it...
