There's nothing I'd rather do than play music. I write my own songs, but also enjoy playing the work of Kate Wolf, Richard Thompson, the Grateful Dead, and many other musicians too numerous to mention. The songs I write tap into the same veins of insight, inspiration, and ecstasy that my favorite musicians channel so well.

Story behind the song
wrote this several years ago, before the backbreaking drought of '07....wondering what the future holds....
Lyrics
DROUGHT SONG When the forest’s gone, then the water goes The willows die when the creek don’t flow Thunder rolls, but the rain don’t fall The country’s quiet, no birds call Chor: It’s gonna get dry, dry, dry, dry It’s gonna get dry, dry, dry, dry Flowers bloom, but the bees don’t buzz Why is this so? Because, because This world’s been bent to the ways of men Something’s gonna give, it ain’t if but when Chor. I can’t tell you just what’s gonna be But it’s gonna get tougher, just wait and see Or better yet, don’t wait at all Start listening for your inner call Don’t be afraid to ask for help And when you can, help out yourself Chor. Maybe this earth will be green again Maybe we’ll learn to live as friends Maybe we’ll just hit the wall I think it’s way too close to call Whatever happens, let it feed your soul Work on your part, remember the whole Chor 2x
