Down The Drain Down The Drain
Based on a dream I had of being in Las Vegas and experiencing a flood. I know, it's boring to listen to someone's dreams! Still, here's the song!
The Ad Man The Ad Man
My work involved writing or producing advertisements. I was amazed at the things the clients wanted in their ads and I allowed my voice to tell lies on their behalf. Here's my anger...er, I mean the song...
Surreal Surreal
This is my song for John Lennon. I guess many people wrote songs for John after his death. I actually did write a song for John while he was alive. I'll have to dig through my box and find it. To John: Thanks for the memories!
Always In My Heart Always In My Heart
For anyone who's ever been away from someone they love, this is a song that asks that elusive "lucky star" to shine down on that love and let her know she's "always in my heart".
One Little Child One Little Child
The lyric describes this song better than anything: "One little child says the king is naked, some just smile and some are afraid. Then one by one they all see the truth. The king is a fool."
Starstruck Starstruck
This is for all the tourists that travel to Hollywood to see celebrities and then realize they have to settle for the wax museum!
Find Me A Woman Find Me A Woman
A silly little "ditty" that has been in my box of songs for a long time now!
We Really Did Alright We Really Did Alright
My father asked me to write a song for him to sing to my mother as they were approaching their 40th Anniversary. The request made my day and the resulting song continues to be a hit with my Mom!
Baby I Really Love You Baby I Really Love You
This is sort of a love song, but we're not sure! It's mostly fun! The "Dixieland Jazz" feel really is the "icing on the cake" for this one! Robin MacBlane helped me produce this one and we giggled through the whole thing!
Honesty And Generosity Honesty And Generosity
OK, don't take this one too seriously! I'm just being sarcastic. No I'm not. Yes I am. No I'm not. Yes I am...
The Only Story The Only Story
After all is said and done there are only a few stories in our lives that are worth telling. This one is for Jo Laurie.
Youthful Eyes Youthful Eyes
May you grow old gracefully and never be jaded by life and always be amazed and delighted and intrigued and inspired by the world around you as you look at it through youthful eyes.
Taking It All In Stride Taking It All In Stride
I wrote this song for my son, Alex, when he was five or six years old. It has been one of my favorites all these years!
On The Old Railroad On The Old Railroad
Some people are "late bloomers". This is a song for all of those who finally "caught the train" after thinking it had passed them by.
Wonder Sounds Wonder Sounds
This is a song as a tribute to Stevie Wonder and all the other great recording artists that I listened to as a child on my little record player while lying on the floor playing their 45s.
If There's Anything Good If There's Anything Good
Sometimes we become closer to each other during trying times and difficulties. That's what this song is about.
Except You Except You
This is a song of gratitude dedicated to my friend Robin for believing in my music for so many years.
