  • Lyrics: “Ancient Story”

    The lyrics for “Ancient Story” were inspired by a fragment I wrote long ago. If you’re interested the original page from my notebook is reproduced below. While no date appears this was likely written in the late 1990s and then rediscovered some time during the last year or so. This song appears as track five… Continue reading

  • Lyrics: Some Shiny Blue Skies

    Some Shiny Blue Skies (March 2022) I’d like to walk down by the waterIf I happened to live by the seaInstead I’ll avoid getting slaughteredLike I see all day on the TVIt’s just like they’re right here next to me I might have believed what you told meIf I hadn’t been fed so many liesIf… Continue reading

About Me

I write music or perhaps it’s music that writes me. I’ll talk about that. And I’ll announce the availability of new music I write or am writing, some music I’ve been listening to, maybe a playlist or two, that sort of thing. I’ll likely also touch on other things including random thoughts about the environment, stuff I’m reading, and interesting (to me) stuff I’ve uncovered in my exploratory travels. More to come.
