I'm alergic to this one -- it always makes my eyes water. I think you're one of the best Political Folk/Social Commentary songwriters of all time. Hell of a fine picker too!
Feel the wind in my sails
Heading toward a brighter day
No more dark, dead end trails
Looks like sunshine all the way
Aint no stopping me now
Been a long time in the darkness
Bangin round where I can’t see
Smell the fresh air through the window…

I Can't Seem To Find My Way Home

But look me in the eye.
Do you know me?

I thought you were special, that was my mistake
You thought…
A true story about getting screwed at the car dealership when I took my car as a trade-in
on a new car. It was a learning experience
that I never forgot.
Another one from back when I was tracking to actual tape. Was going to do a new version at some point, but decided I had lost interest. Sometimes there's no sense in recreating the past! Recorded probably the beginning of 2007
Title track of my new project, as my other group? The Seven Spiders. This song is experimental dub influenced chamber music, I am exploring the possibilities of humour in music trying to make the music itself amusing ... if that makes any sense…
Do you remember waiting patiently outside
When the delivery to the shop had just arrived
The special moment after months of speculation
As you saw the final cover the first time
Held aloft you felt the weight
Like a trophy you had won
You didn…
Maybe I missed a career scoring for no budget spaghetti westerns, because this is what this reminds me of. Done live a couple weeks ago with the Taylor and a floor full of toys and loopers.

Well done guys
Scenes from my fetchin up. Company store owns your dreams. I used to play with guys who died of black lung disease
An informed public is a dangerous thing
Tasty social commentary on urban decay.
Are you using an Ebow on this?
Great song of fallen angels
Good mixing.
A recording from the vault?Nice little song.
Them dealers prep and hidden charges are so slickly hidden in the transaction. At least a good song came of the experience.
Nice phrasing on this piece.
Surfs up dude
I like how you build on the theme
Great song.We thought we were so cool back then.
I like the break riff.
Nicely crafted.
