sort of a work in progress inspired by the music of Juana Molina. Looking for a vocalist to add something. I've got some ideas but not the correct sort of voice.

Great playing, stands up without a vocal but I know what you mean. With the right voice it could be sheer magic

The title comes from reading "The Willows in Winter" to my son Maurice, which is the sequel to "The Wind in The Willows" and thinking of Toad and the sort of idyllic natural landscape. While messing around in Logic, I ended up creating a "Drag…

This is written by my friend Stuart Walker, and he gave me permission to record this for my RPM 2009 album. It reminded me of early Leonard Cohen so I took it in that direction with the finger picking and spookiness

I like the atmosphere you create here - there's something about this track that draws people to want to cover it. (I think it's the lyrics - they're really good.) Heck, we could probably do an entire album of different people covering this one Gumbo track.

Another song for the RPM 2009 Challenge. This is sort of an interlude that reminds me of Penguin Cafe Orchestra but with a sort of industrial edge. Vocoder is featured.

The whole piece was 24 minutes long. It's a whole bunch of short poems that I wrote back in 1976, read one after the other, under which I added ambient sounds, playing some harmonica and banjo and using samples and effects of various types, synths…

Just a little song about delusional thinking aided by substance. Lap steel guitar and acoustic and interesting exotic instruments.
