A tale of keeping your head above the water, or not...
Recorded Jan-Feb 2011.
I wrote it many years ago, never thought I'd ever do anything with it.
I intended to record this with just an acoustic and my new EDB (electric upright bass…

Anyone else still writing songs?
this is the result of trying to listen to too many mixes in one day. Sometimes it's just easier to record something else.
i held off listening to too many of your demos so i could just sit down and have my mind totally blown at one time. and it is. your one of most talented fellows doing this free music stuff. your last two rpm's are in a master class that has few members.

An unaccompanied song about bedtime. Not a lullaby though. Oh no!
What does anyone think of the 'cat's moustache' line - it seems like that's a make or break call right there and i like it when i read it but it's hard to sing without…

Sometimes it's easier to run with the flawed routines we're familiar with than to turn over a new leaf..

Recorded Oct 2010.

One of my favorites of yours, Andy. But then again ... I think I like all of your great songs the same. You have such a terrific voice, and your songwriting is as profound as your lengthy explanations (which I love, btw! :) ).
Keep them coming!

Yes this is simply cool/would sound nice live.
