Singin' songs by the fireside

I am a rambling blues and folk songwriter and stringplucker. I have been living in Belize, Central America for the past 9 years, originally from Pennsylvania, USA. My songs speek for my travels and experiences, which have carried me to many amazing, inspiring, and eye-opening places and encountered many awesome, couragous, interesting, and encouraging people(s). Some of my songs address the system and the many problems which are arising through its fasaud of democracy and its perpetuation of Plutocracy which is the ruling of the rich over the poor.(ie:Big Corporations siezing power over everyone and everything else on the planet) Music and songs have also provided me with a way to express humor in life experience as well as encouragment to others and contemplation of Life, Love, God, and many perspectives too dificult to communicate to others without the tools of poetry and melody. I think I have the links set so that you can download the mp3 audio files, absolutely FREE!!!...Please feel free to give any of these tunes radio play on pass them along with this web site to your friends...and foes...let them all hear!

Story behind the song

WTO Cancun, September 2003 at Kilometer 0 we dismantled ti chain link fence which was consructed to keep the people out of the WTO convention which was being held 9km away from there in the Zona Hotelera.  At Km 0 the Korean farmers as well as many others, myself included, built camp in the traffic circle, where we continued to maintain a presence and raise our voices against the undemocratic process taking place out in teh convention center.  In the traffic circle, were replicas of the maya god Culkulkan from chichen itza.  This god became part of our movement then and helped us with wind and rain at appropriate times throughout the week as teh people succeeded in colapsing the conference of teh WTO and delivering the message that the WTO is obsolete and OUR WORLD IS NOT FOR SALE!!!!

Lyrics

The people rise up and so will the weather
Culkulkan is coming great serpent clothed in feather
There's no use to run away, there's no place to hide
the truth we speak tears down your walls and reveals all the lies inside
