You had me at, "Of All the gin joints in all the towns in all the world..." Kind of a tribute to the movies. The ending evokes in me the wrenching from dreamcraft to lifecast when the final credits roll.

A song meant as inspiration for anyone who has ever felt stuck before they've even started. Don't let the fear of failure hold you back. Always remember you can begin again.

A fun ditty about a magician.

An act of desperation.

I always feel an undercurrent of creativity smoldering just below the surface. It takes some upheaval to dislodge a spark, though. Sometimes that disturbance kicks out a big enough spark to kindle a sputtering flame. That flicker is what gives…

This song was written for a songwriting challenge issued by the MN Association of Songwriters where the title had to include the word 2021. I am uploading it this morning on a very proud day here in the USA - Inauguration day 2021!!!!! I am…

This is Part B) of the Miscellany Trilogy. Parts One and aye, aye, aye to come. It's all recorded live by me. Only the acoustic guitar was done in one take. I had to learn the bass, drums (poorly) and keyboard parts, so mistakes were made…
