Alternative. Blues. Comedy. Acoustic. Folk. Jazz. Protest. Country. Car songs. Motorcycle songs. Horse songs. Songs about mothers. Songs about being a mother.
Musically, I'm a storyteller. As a storyteller, I use music. Note, 5/10/06: I just took "Ridin' In Alone" off the page, because in my studies (I'm doing my Master of Arts in Humanities, with a Storytelling emphasis, at Prescott College) I have begun to do archival research, and that was one of several songs that were just not correct. Bits and pieces of it were, but the whols thing was incorrect... Damn! And it was one of my favorites! I have rewritten the lyrics, keeping the melody and chorus, and centered on Father Kino, an amazing man who did indeed ride alone throughout Apacheland in the late 1600's, building missions and bringing cattle, wheat, and orchards to Alta Pimeria. Gotta re-record it. I am mostly working by myself right now, although Bill Vasquez (keyboard, small brass, flutes) and I have long-range plans for recording and performing some wildly jazzy stuff. Working to pay the bills, unfortunately, gets in the way of musical time together at this point.

Story behind the song
Old boyfriends inspired this, as well as general complainers and most drunks.
Lyrics
You've got stories to tell And you want me to listen But you know I've heard it all before There's a lesson in life That it looks like you're missin' So I'll stop you now-- don't say any more You think life has been hard And you've never been dealt aces But you gotta play the hand you draw And you know it's the same In so many different places That it's sort of like a universal law (Chorus) I don't wanna hear you whinin' Any time you talk at all Dial 1-800- Wah-Wah-Wah They are waiting for your call. Listen up, this is real If you want my attention Tink of something positive to say We can take the next step To another dimension Or you can keep on wallowin' this way (Chorus)
