The closer of the album. It only felt fair to give the guitar a turn with the tune.

I wanted to write a response to the happy-hobo songs that had been tormenting me (“King of the Road”, “Bummin’ Around”), and hit on this. It’s a little reflection and appreciation.

The second half of the theme to this album. Sit still too long and you become something else.

I wanted a loose nod to “Just Like Tom Thumb’s Blues”, so I started it in the rain and ended it with returning to someplace I used to live. But then because of Bud Cort I thought the singer should inexplicably die at the end of each verse. This…

This is sort of a musical postcard for the Pacific NW. It’s among the goofier things I’ve made, and was pretty quick and dirty.

Recorded in 2004, in an old cabin in rural NC. I don’t know why the fake accent.

Recorded in 2006 in Ashland OR. This was meant to be the backing track for a more complete song, of which all I can remember is the line “All I want to do / Is get stoned and read Harper’s”.
Recorded in an airstream trailer.

Recorded in 2006 in Ashland OR, in an Airstream trailer I lived in for a summer. I barely had electricity so it’s a miracle I even got this much recorded.

Recorded in Denver in 2002. I sound like I’m pitching a song to Bread, but I don’t know how I would have liked that comment at the time.

Track 1 from my 2012 RPM offering. A gaggle of ukuleles toss around the recurring theme of the recordings.

Recorded in 2001 in an empty apartment in Mesa AZ. The drum kit is a cardboard box and a tambourine. The guitar is an acoustic and I’m sure I had to do some workaround to get it to sound like this.

“Six Years” was written and recorded on April 27-28, for the April 2024 REM Challenge (via RPM Challenge).
A quick write-and-record short song to submit for the April 2024 REM Challenge. Half truthful, half tongue in cheek. I recently defended…

You say theres nothing o letting it go

April's RPM. I got annoyed paying too much to ticketmaster so wrote a rude song about an awful company.

You had me at, "Of All the gin joints in all the towns in all the world..." Kind of a tribute to the movies.

You brought two of my favorite humans together for the first time -- Bud Cort and Bob Dylan. If you only had Ruth Gordon going full Yoko....
I’ve been making lo-fi home recordings since 1996, mostly on my Tascam Porta03 Ministudio, which is a four-track cassette recorder. I write songs and play banjo, guitar, ukulele, and sometimes accordion. For reasons unbeknownst to me I’ve chosen to release some of these recordings in a very limited manner under fake band names; Curb Your Dog, The Annenberg Fund, Ersatz, etc. I’m going to attempt to group them all together here, under the banner of my actual name.
