Beat Les Variations Beat Les Variations
An experimental song gone astray. Not fit for human consumption.
Fully Smooth and Blue Fully Smooth and Blue
A musical remembrance of the Summer of Love and an attempt to keep that feeling alive.
Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin) Thank You (Falettinme Be Mice Elf Agin)
Thank You (For Letting Me Sing This Song My Way)
Racist Country Racist Country
A Country-Rock tune about the 2016 presidential race, and general racism in America. The song isn't based on any single individual, but rather a combination of News articles and Facebook postings from friends and strangers.
The Shallow Chasm The Shallow Chasm
About how politics can come between two friends, family members, co-workers, etc.
Unperceived Reach Unperceived Reach
Between 1989 and 1990 I wrote about a dozen "broken heart" songs after a particularly painful relationship breakup. This is another one recently discovered from my 4 track cassette tapes.
Possibility of Love (2017 Version) Possibility of Love (2017 Version)
A remake of an old song from 1990. Updated with new lyrics.
Possibility of Love (2017 EXTENDED VERSION) Possibility of Love (2017 EXTENDED VERSION)
The full 10 minute version of my remake of an old song from 1990.
THIS Is What Became of the Baby THIS Is What Became of the Baby
An answer to the Grateful Dead's musical question, "What's Become of the Baby?"
This Ain't Livin' This Ain't Livin'
A song about depression and an apology to all those I've wronged because of it.
Cozy Igloo Cozy Igloo
Rock Instrumental. Winter's coming, I need a Cozy Igloo with you.
Fear and Wonder Fear and Wonder
An unpolished gem, or a polished turd? Either way, a work-in-progress. "Fear and Wonder" asks you to be brave and be curious just to listen to this song!
Divided (We All Fall) Divided (We All Fall)
Mass shootings, terrorists, war, hatred, religious and cultural bigotry are dividing us all. And divided we shall fall.
April's March Waltz Run April's March Waltz Run
Another one of my favorite instrumentals. A slow blues number with electric guitar leading the way.
One More Time One More Time
The first of three songs on this album thinking about the past. Past relationships, past mistakes and regrets, past memories. All characters in this song are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is purely coincidental.
Circling Back To You Circling Back To You
The second of three songs thinking about my past. This song also makes some observations about the human race.
Monochrome Kaleidoscope Monochrome Kaleidoscope
The third of three songs thinking about my past. A jumble of faded memories that, in my mind's eye, seems like a Monochrome Kaleidoscope!
Other Than That Other Than That
Just for fun...kind of a parody on modern country songs. Doing my best Charlie Daniels imitation.
The New Keepers The New Keepers
The first of two songs comparing today's music and audiences to the music of the 60's and 70's. (They don't write 'em like that anymore)
Playing For The Song Playing For The Song
The second of two songs comparing today's music to the music of the 60's and 70's. Sort of a continuation from "The New Keepers"...
