Hero Hero
This tune was never released on an album but was performed on piano in several venues. It was one of nathan's best vocals. It is Uncle Dave's religious biography.
Cry Like A Man Cry Like A Man
11. Cry Like A Man features Laura Brown and Crystal Walk on background vocals and is one of those 'sensitive male of the nineties' things. 'Now and then the strangest things seem to set me off -- A vet inside his wheel chair -- the way my baby wal
Driftin' Away Driftin' Away
Divorces, ugly as they are, aren't always altogether unexpected.
Chill Chill
Chill was created to combat riot fever in the aftermath of the 2nd Rodney King trial in Los Angeles.
Love Ya Too Much Love Ya Too Much
17. The cruise ship crew meets the midnight marauders again on this pounding dance ditty. We got a charge out of some LA critics who blasted Love Ya Too Much for its '70's synth horn section' but I promise you those players were live, breathing an
Window on the World Window on the World
20. Window on the World was created for an LA TV special on violence in the media.
techno-whoppo techno-whoppo
1. Tekno Whoppo is always misspelled and nearly always enjoyed. Inspired by John Lennon's book, 'How I Won The War', it's lyrics were created in a pickup on the way to Guthrie, Oklahoma. Gary Riley wails on sax.
Caroline's Island Caroline's Island

Laura Laura
12. Laura is more than lovely. And so is her song, with Gary Riley soaring on sax.
Love Song Love Song

A Pile of Stones details a warrior's fight against the Jihad.
Roy Boy Roy Boy
Roy was a friend who lived with a severe neuromuscular handicap. This bit of soul searching by Nathan was only touched slightly by Uncle Dave
Hold the Rain Hold the Rain
10. A lot of Nathan's music is political in a religious sort of way. Hold the Rain is a paean for environmentalists and should probably be someone, somewhere's, fundraising theme.
Saturday Saturday
2. Saturday is a happy bit of country written for, and with, country artist Jay Horne. Nashville session man Rick Wright provides the lead guitar while Nathan slaps the seconds on keyboards in tribute to Floyd Kramer.
I Can't Do This I Can't Do This
6. No it's not synth bass driving I Can't Do This but the amazing fingers of Mike McKinney. McKinney's musical background includes stints with Sergio Mendez, Michael Martin Murphy, and The Jacksons.
Ride My Dinosaur Ride My Dinosaur
15. Ride My Dinosaur examines the horror of apartheid through the eyes of one of the foot soldiers on the wrong side of the issue. It is another spin-off of an NPR report. Nathan, Greg Hill, and I had a great time camping up the BGVs
