I write letters, but I don't send them and they go unanswered. I take them out and rewrite them, picking up the words and clarifying the meanings. I wait in hope that a reply will come someday.
I continue the conversation when it's long over…

A Cheap Peavey Blues' piece. I don't blow much harp, don't have the wind for it, but occasionally I add some simple notes.

A song I wrote over the last few days. Did a one-take-wonder on the recording, so it's pretty simple. Hope you like it!

Keep me wandering for days
Keep me exactly the same
Keep me docile and tired
Keep me angsty and wired
