...hello there traveler..
i hack out my life in a sylvan chinese tea house in the mountains near nyc.. i am a slightly ordinary writer, singer, songwriter, artist and accidental philosopher.. a few years ago i gigged in sleazy bars and meticulously recorded two albums with a cast of stellar players, most of whom are now famous and playing with outfits such as Railroad Earth, Ryan Adams, Bob Dylan and others..
but unfortunately, "Unfortunate Adventures of a Naked Mystic" was dropped at the gate.. the head of the record label lost his mind over some stoner dame with cognitive difficulties, thus my cd was never officially released nor promoted.. so.. depressed to cheap wine and destruction, i turned to academics and writing..
and that's what this myspace page is about, some faint way in a loud world to make public what should have had it's due long ago... i am too proud of the album's songwriting and acoustics to keep it in the grave... besides, the songs are too important to linger in the dark, as they chronicle my journey and escape from the monastic life into the lovely world of sin and danger.. you be the judge... perhaps you'll find it to be the best unheard bunch of painful songs you've never heard...
...wanna know more?.. it's all on my website.. sans the mating ads and sparkling hearts!.. there you'll find sample writings.. a vest pocket bio, my photography.. my music story.. links to my "eat plato" blog and yes.. remnants of my life as a catholic monastic guy in funny brown fashion..
here's to beauty!
