And you thought I had forgotten... Thanks for stopping by my page. New music (finally!) as of January 16, 2006--"In The Circle" uploaded this morning. More in the works--new recordings on the way! Primarily acoustic singer/songwriter material here. Guitar/vocals/bass/rhythm section/other instruments all done by Bill Chandler. Most of the recordings are done in my home studio. Working on updating the site now.

Story behind the song
I was listening to NPR news one morning...too much bad news, and too much political stupidity. This was the depths of the Reagan years. It is almost infinitely depressing to me that this song is still timely today.
Lyrics
Well he's the big man, in his office suite Walls of stone around him, people stop and stare Make the money dance, gotta keep the scams discrete Headline says a five-year-old was killed somewhere Who Cares? Well he's the big man, sitting in his oval room Walls of white around him, leans back in his chair Make a new plan, debate about peace and doom Knows that everywhere pain and death still flare Who Cares? Missile test, tax break Starving people, see what's at stake? I'm just a little man, down in my lonely room Four gray walls surround me, roaches sit and stare Is this a dying land, in the twilight's gloom? Voice in my head crying "answer if you dare-- Who Cares?" Is there anyone who knows Who Cares?
