Running Running
This song is about runners. Specifically, it's about looking at runners, not being one.
First Christmas Alone First Christmas Alone
This is a Christmas song about a couple's first Christmas alone together. The song is very mildly risque.
Hay que huir Hay que huir
Esta canción habla de un ingleshablante que quiere huir al mundo hispanohablante como manera de huir de si mismo (pero claro, esto nunca funciona). Empieza con un eco de un poema de Pablo Neruda ('Walking Around')
Read every night Read every night

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.

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.Have you performed in front of an audience?I haven't played live in some time but hope to get back into the swing of things with my new project. I have played live as a solo folky act and as part of blues and rock bands -- it's a great time.
Your musical influences
I listen to a great deal of everything. When I first started playing music, I listened to a great deal of blues -- the great harp players like Sonny Boy Williamson, Little Walter, and James Cotton, and the great songsters like Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters. More recently, Greg Brown is a great influence on me, as are Peter Mulvey, Erin McKeown (who I knew in college), and, for song writing, the Magnetic Fields.What equipment do you use?
Taylor Guitar, Hohner harmonicas (mostly Meisterklass), Fostex digital 4 track, ubuntu/linux computer with audacity for mixing.Contact
