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.

Lyrics
Sweet feeling in my soul Sweet blessings will unfold Sweet affection for my role Sweet feeling in my soul. When lightning surrounds me and thunder will crash When people around me are acting so rash When storms overwhelm you, you just keep it real Remember this momsnt and just how you feel-- with a (chorus) The world is distracting, it's hard to keep track When all your old habits are holding you back Break loose from the problem that's keeping you down With your head held up high, and your feet on the ground-- and a (chorus)
