Pam's Song Pam's Song
A fingerpicked 12-string number, to which I added some curious reverb.
One Wing Wheeling One Wing Wheeling
A raunchy little blues number that hopes your love will hang on once we've started into the tailspin.
I Found A Letter I Found A Letter
Moody, brooding, acid recollection of a relationship long gone. Letter as metaphor for failure, loss, miscommunication, and ill will. 80s alternative sound on acoustic 12-string, with strong vocal and jabbing lead electric guitar.
Falling Rocks Falling Rocks
Quirky, slightly discordant guitar and quirky, slightly unhinged vocal. A bit stoney, if you'll pardon the pun.
5th of July 5th of July
A love song and triumphant battle cry. Lovely vocal and energetic acoustic 12-string guitar.
Mt. Diablo Windy Day Rag Mt. Diablo Windy Day Rag
Rollicking (presumably rockicking and rollicking) slightly off-kilter number.
Hey Stella Hey Stella
Moody, dark, slightly psychedelic, rather like accoustically played mid-80s alternative. 12-string acoustic with bizarre chords, and an electric lead.
It's Usually Tomorrow There It's Usually Tomorrow There
Pretty song, with Lauren's lyric about California. This gets stuck in my head all the time, but luckily it's nice.
Christina Sorting Records Christina Sorting Records
A dance, with some folderol, to invoke Christina.
Theme For Midge Theme For Midge
Not high art by any means, but it's a blast to play, espcially on a 12-string. (You'll need good wrists, or else health insurance.)
Looking Down On J Street From The 18th Floor Looking Down On J Street From The 18th Floor
Breezy shuffle, the same verse and a different chorus each time, possibly in search of a lyric.
Spooky Untitled Thing Spooky Untitled Thing
Dark, moody piece played on classical acoustic-electric.
Lancelot's Song Lancelot's Song
A song about life with us, from a cat's-eye perspective.
Late Afternoon Lullaby Late Afternoon Lullaby
A sweet love song, played with an odd technique.
Only Living Boy in Turlock Only Living Boy in Turlock
Spunky diatribe on small-town life. Raucous acoustic guitar and vocals.
