Tacoma Tacoma
This song is loosely based on the true story of my great-grandfather's rescue of a Japanese ship and crew. The picture is of the Provident Building in Tacoma circa 1906 - about the time of the story.

Evil Twin Brother Evil Twin Brother
This picture is a movie poster for 'Trail of Terror'. In this movie Dave (Tex) O'Brien plays himself and his evil twin brother. This song has nothing to do with that.

Innkeeper's Daughter Innkeeper's Daughter
Many years ago I stayed at a family run roadside motel while waiting to work in a bush camp. With a guitar and some imagination, I turned a situation that never happened into this.

Northern Sunrise Northern Sunrise
This song is about driving from the big city to a small northern town in one day. Written in the key of fifth gear, it's like ol' 55 north of 60.
