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
This song is inspired by all teh rad people and families and comunities that take such good care of me, and give me endless inspiration. It is connecting on the level of life that binds us togehter and allows us to do much more as a community than as individuals, whether it be in cooking, making music, raising families, gardening, making art, we all try on life together in new ways and evolve together instead of alone. Special thanks go to all the cool people at the Tryon Life Farm for providing teh space to record this album, check them out and help them out at: www.tryonfarm.org
Lyrics
Try on Life it fits like a glove and feel what it's like to Be Free Try breathing and seeking to be an instrument of Love and encourage one another on the journey Give thanks to the land and the sky up above and pour your energy into building a community Make a space for the traveller to stop and put some love in Be a shelter from the rushin' and the pushin' and the shovin' Let the music play all night so we can sing and dance Grow good organic food and lots of bright flowering plants Put it in a pot and stir it up with lots-o-lovin' Roll out the dough and fire up the cob oven Dig into the dirt so you can take a stronger stance Educate, Relate and be creative with resistance and Try on Life it fits like a glove and feel what it's like to Be Free Try breathing and seeking to be an instrument of Love and encourage one another on the journey Give thanks to the land and the sky up above and pour your energy into building a community Try exploring and evolving in whole new directions eminating light from your innermost reflections Create your own economy not based on the love of money but on the abundant and free source of the sun's energy Feel the Healing Vibrations of Light's far reaching projections Open up our arms for caring and sharing our affections Strive for sustainability, give back to the land, plant a tree Grow a garden of souls and minds for the harvest will be plenty as we Try on Life it fits like a glove and feel what it's like to Be Free Try breathing and seeking to be an instrument of Love and encourage one another on the journey Give thanks to the land and the sky up above and pour your energy into building a community Try making a life, filling two new eyes with sight as husband and wife spin their love and unite For Unity is the healing force that creates as community blooms from its embryonic states Give children wings for flight so that they just might find new ways of making the light shine more bright Sing with them dance with them learn with them help them carry their weights and cherish them for they grow at alarmingly fast rates and Try on Life it fits like a glove and feel what it's like to Be Free Try breathing and seeking to be an instrument of Love and encourage one another on the journey Give thanks to the land and the sky up above and pour your energy into building a community
