The title track to this year's RPM album. The lines actually forced themselves into being and then straightaway demanded that no other lines should be written.
When the songs speak that loudly, I do what I'm told.
OBJECTS IN THE MIRROR…
Wrote this and performed it for my mom's 70th birthday party. Our family is a bit crazy.
FORTY-THIRTY
Well, your birthday rolled around again
The way all birthdays do
And this year it’s a big one
Once again you’re sixty-two
I’m sorry…
THE LIGHTHOUSE
You hide an ancient soul
Behind your tired eyes
You keep a heart of gold
Buried deep inside
At least you tried
Always in control
Of what the world might see
Has taken quite a toll
You’re afraid that you might be
Lost…
The Barn Storm (another band here on alonetone) is about as good as it gets. I had the fleeting idea last year that I should make an album inspired by the names of as many great indie musician friends as possible.
This is the only one that…
One of my favorites from this year's album, probably because I didn't have to write the back story.
Little sis wrote a novel called "The Wishmaker" set on an island off the coast of Maine. I'm betting y'all'll be seeing it on shelves soon…
THE LIGHT OF YOUR SMILING FACE
I’ve been warming my hands in the light of your smiling face
I never knew what I was missing
I thought I had it all
Summer fading in the distance
I wasn’t ready for the fall

Just before…
When I was a junior in high school, I read the book "Illusions" by Richard Bach. It was "that book" for me and at age sixteen I started realizing what I was capable of becoming.
I read it again twenty-five years later, and as the line in the…
MIGHT BE A SIGN
I didn’t think about you all this weekend
While I was standing in the rain
I didn’t worry ‘bout where you were going
Or where you might have been
It might be a sign I’m going insane
I didn’t think about you all this evening…
What a treasure these marbles! Colorful, transparent, with or without stripes... Let's play?

For Bee.
Also:
Hark, hark! the lark at heaven's gate sings,
And Phoebus 'gins arise,
His steeds to water at those springs
On chaliced…
The opening track to this year's RPM album.
PATCHWORK PLAN
You don’t have a job and I don’t have a place to stay
I make just enough for all the bills you have to pay
We won’t roll in dough but who needs money anyway
It don’t sound half…
Well, this is the hastily written, poorly performed, weakly sung, badly mixed love song I threw together a few years back about the last time I saw the Northern Lights. It happened to be the night I fell in love with my future wife (and knew…
So Jim of "Movement to Contact" asked me a couple of weeks ago to send him something...
I had no idea how ridiculously good the final result would come out.

RPM tack 2 --i stand atop the cathedral Notre Dame, fluffy white clouds float in an electric blue sky, gazing towards to Tour De Eiffel, i notice a small balloon flitting and flying along in the gentle summer breeze over the skyline of Paris

This summer my wife and i traveled to Europe! our first time across the pond..what a wonderful time of adventure we had from Paris to Roma. each morning i would rise before dawn to watch as the early morning sun painted the…
In 1979, my father came home from the record store with an album that forever changed my life, Pete Seeger's Circles & Seasons. Before I knew Pete to be the blacklisted folk icon that had been on the humanitarian side of every fight since…
