Blues-influenced songster, churning out songs never-before heard about food, love, work, teaching Spanish, and more.
In an effort to get my music out into the world and to hone my writing practice, I'm starting a Song-A-Week project I'll attempt to release one brand new song per week for a year, starting today, Sunday, May 14th, 2006, and continuing through Sunday, May 13, 2007. Traditionally I, like most people, have written about love and sex — attraction, frustration, satisfaction, the works. As evidenced by the first song in my new series (about a job interview for a lame job), I'm trying to break out of this mold a bit more with my new series of songs... that said, I remain ever myself, and surely there will be more songs about love and whatnot.

Story behind the song
One day I sat down behind an interview at starbucks. Something about the interview just struck me as so awful I had to write a song about it - don't get me wrong, it was a perfectly normal interview, just awful in a perfectly normal way.
Lyrics
Tell me about a time when you were late to work, How did you avert impending disaster? And tell me about a time with an upset customer, How did you assuage their rising anger? Tell me about a time when your heart wouldn't work When you couldn't feel for all the joy around you? Tell me why something finally stirred And you could see you were no longer drowning. You should know we have a dress code here Hey don't get me wrong, you look fantastic But that ring in your nose will have to go And just make sure you keep your tattoos covered I think you'll see, you'll like it here I think you'll find we're like a second family Just fill this out and you can start on Monday
