World music songwriting that transcends the single band.
World music songwriting that transcends the single band. Music made round the world from 1990-2002. These songs are my legacy material. My life is an experiential journey of my own design and some of the end result has been recorded and/or live music and spoken word. I play a variety of instruments and sing/talk. Most of the songs on this page date from my recordings between 1995's "4" (under the Moniker Mr. Chaos, in Detroit Michigan U.S.A.) through to 2002's "In Stereo" (with Add Lib Lounge, in Helsinki, Finland). There are also some glimpses here of 1997-9s "Mr. Chaos Trio" from Mid-Finland; 2000's Bahasa Mix, from Malaysia; and 2001's Jazz sessions from Helsinki (with the Black Tuesday Quartet); and 2004 activist bluegrass recordings against GW Bush's "No Child Left Behind" schooling initiative. I hope you enjoy it.

Lyrics
A little gypsy weighs one for the life of ten. The railway station, 3 a.m. Another cigarette, one wasted life for three. Cause if you've got it, what the hell? Please don't make a fool of it- There's nothing left until you try. The little gypsies don't want anything of mine, they've got another, it ain't right! One more wasted life's not something I don't know. Cause if you've got it, what the hell? Please don't make a fool of it - there's nothing left until you try! ... A little gypsy's got one for the life of ten. Another wasted one - no matter! I don't care of it, I'll never know the truth, Cause if you've got them, what the hell? ... Helsinki, spring 1999
