stealin' ain't what it used to be

About Me

We're made of drinking, funerals, losing, and acute observationalism. If giving up were the real national pastime, beards would be in charge of the nation's anthem. Charged by the ethereal and the mundane, these songs represent a transitional period for the three of us, and overcompensate the storytelling methodology to specifically highlight captured moments. All vagueries are laid to rest like ghosts that pass through the songs themselves, and half the time we don't even realize what we are doing until we have given up on ourselves. Sounds about right. Here's to the spirit of Havelock/New Bern, North Carolina. We may never escape.
