Some general info:

Recorded two albums. Quite a bit of touring. And currently surfacing from a spell of quiet.

The first album, titled All in One Day, was made by Classic Records, produced by Paul DuGre. A perfect analog (and premier digital) capture of live performances in an old movie theater in a small town on the central coast of california, the record won a couple of awards for sonic excellence and got placed in several films. It's a lush bit of business; fabulous musicians and bone deep acoustic resonance. It was printed on CD, vinyl and DAD and is now sold out. Contact Classic Records if you want to prompt them to print more (www.classicrecs.com).

The second, titled Sentimental Bedlam, I put out myself on Hunk Records, in collaboration with producer Dave Willey (myspace.com/hamstertheater). More fabulous musicians and some downright stunning arrangements, I had the luxury of a great deal of space and time to put out a collection of work recorded on song by song basis. I printed it on cd and released it in the US, then Dutch label, Inbetweens Records (myspace.com/inbetweensrecords) released it in Europe and I toured it up a bunch. Then I got sick in a way that made it difficult to play. And now I'm recovering in way that makes me think about playing. It's all an experiment.

So a friend wants a copy of a little guitar and 3 part humming song that I recorded a while back so I had to fire up my very rusty Cakewalk chops.  2 hours later I have a .wav mix (beca...

So that song turned out to be a fantasy piece.  An alternate plane with a little bitty but poignant instance of love as the protagonist.  SchmarmitySchmarmSchmarm.  I lik...

inertia my friend

Misery does not always foster artistry.  Songwriting left me, actually, mostly, when I started to fell unwell. Actually, it was shortly after the unwellness; it was when I got scared of feel...
