Singer/songwriter Kathy Moxham writes in a variety of genres ranging from folk, blues, jazz, country and R&B. She loves the blues, the sounds of the Rolling Stones and thinks that Jimmy Buffett is a wordsmith genius. She's very complex. She also sings and plays the guitar. Imagine that!

Doug Logan heard Kathy's song "Telltale Lines" and said that he could play an accompaniment to it. He dreamed one up in about a minute. It was perfect so the two lovebirds have been collaborating ever since. Doug is a guitarist first and foremost. His expertise is apparent and his touches are tasteful and beautiful. The woven combination of sounds is enchanting. On the side, Doug also plays lead guitar for Time to Confess and the Red Hot Rhythm Devils, San Francisco’s hottest blues bands.

Lyrics

Ears Pierced Today
c 2003 Kathy Moxham

I'm getting my ears pierced today
There's a man with a gun
standing far away
They've got me on a belt
I'm rolling his way
I'm getting my ears pierced today

Oh, Lord, I am full of dread
he's got that gun pointed 
right at my head
one slight move and I'm,
well, I'm dead
I'm getting my ears pierced today

All this for just some shiny ears
half an inch and I am 
no longer here
his gun is loaded up
and I'm full of fear
I'm getting my ears pierced today

Now he's got me in his sites
I look around but there is
nowhere to hide
he aims, he shoots, I LIVE!
[Now the other side]
I'm getting my ears pierced today
I'm getting my ears pierced today
