Political Folk. About the sexual hangups and illnesses of our culture because we don’t know how to talk to each other and our kids about sex and agree on what’s right or wrong and where the lines should be drawn. NO ONE’S BIZ' Education…

Psychedelic Folk tune I wrote when I was younger and could sing in a higher key. I bull-headedly recorded this years later in its original key. Starry Nightmoth does the ambient background KB work. ONCE I THOUGHT (The Telephone) Once I thought…

This Political Folk tune is set to a rustic, tribal Samba beat – perfect for dancing naked about Stonehenge – and asks if we are evolved enough as a species for the world we’re trying to create for ourselves today. WHO WE ARE TAKE ME BACK…

One of my oldest and more pitiful recordings, this Political Folk tune is a part of my “Legends of Summer” demo CD. (Oh Say!) CAN YOU SEE? Oh say! Can you see why they say we are free? Can’t stop acid rain, else we must be insane I would…

Political Folk tune featuring Starry Nightmoth on baby grand piano, pan flute, KB “strings” and intro voice. About the blatant environmental destruction humans are committing against Mother Nature/Earth. Curse of Eden Why did you heed the…

Not an overall bad recording, and I’m quite pleased with the lyrics of this Psychedelic Folk tune. FUTURE BOUND Should I take the left or should I pass it by zoom? Lost my faith in maps, so how will I decide zoom? Spirits crying to be…

Another one of my Political Folk tunes, this one smothered in Psychedelic sauce. About a “vision” I had in my early childhood. The recording has its issues, but still… IRON TIGERS Riding down the road See the folks at work Second sight…

Hope you enjoy the trip. The bass line kept my fingers busy on this more aggressive Psychedelic Folk tune. The poem is actually three crammed into one, all about the same dream. LAST NIGHT With a subtle touch I have said enough But you…

One of my first experiments with recording, this old tune has some real sound quality issues. But it’s an alright composition and the lyrics do have something quite valid and urgent to relate. LET IT BE A future unpleasant is foretold…

“You don’t want to know…”

OK, so it’s a creepish song about Death, but how about my happening bass lines? This Psych Folk funeral dirge features Starry Nightmoth on KBs. LOOK Look in the mirror See me standing there Look out the window See me everywhere…

Love song in the Psych Folk style. NOTHING CAN COMPARE Nothing in the world, nothing in the skies Compares to you my friend Even Old Man Sol can’t outshine your eyes Your love will never end All you are inside, and your subtle style…

This Psych Folk tune I wrote about a fellow runaway child I was housed with, that got romantic with me before I escaped that place, my standard O.P. after getting caught and stuck in a facility. RUNAWAY i don’t need you hangin' ‘round me…

Psych Folk – This was Danville Dan’s favorite GEM tune, and I knew it would be when I wrote it. SILVER CITY Wish I were in Silver City Somewhere in New Mexico Where I would eat all the pine nuts And where I’d go panning for gold…

Psych Folk. I earned my PTSD. Growing up traveling about America, I met bad babysitters, bad cops, bad ministers. Early on as a runaway I learned to not hitchhike but to rather move in the shadows alone. Etc. Starry Nightmoth on KBs. SO MANY…

Starry Nightmoth performs on KBs in this one. I am so disappointed with how this recording turned out, but others like it, so… VACANT STREET i’ve seen your children burn with hate filled with fear and rage they won’t forgive but they…

Probably the worse recording of the entire 52 song MYTHOPOETICA demo collection. 43 OCTOBERS …come harvest eve i may elect to reflect in the light of morrow’s day come that night with aided eye under sky might i walk a different…

For fans of ancient druidic mythology. AUTUMN TIME (Master of the Hunt) I go walking in the forest in the autumn time Leaves are falling as I’m humming some forgotten rhyme Moonlight in my hair Harvest in the air I go wading in the…

I was 13 when I wrote this Political Folk song. One of my earliest attempts at recording, it’s certainly a flawed production. Nevertheless many will get a kick out of the ending. BABYLON Killed a man whose skin was red All his brother’s…

A creepy/gloomy with a bit of a stab at electronica and a slightly more aggressive stab at techno in the center. That mood seemed to fit the poetry. Falling Autumn leaves sound like this in my head. CAN'T RESET The many poems I’ve…

Uhm… whatever. She took the walk anyway and we’re both better for it. It’s all good. DON’T WALK AWAY Let’s sit and talk this over Can’t take from me what is ours Lived a few lives before you And this is the best one by far I’ve made…

Don’t let that serpent bite you. Don’t chase the dragon. For a friend, may he RIP. DRAGON BIT Hold on to a past that you resent And forget the words that Heaven sent Clinging to a future that you fear Think you’re going somewhere, you…

One of my favorite recordings and favorite songs. The drums of this Political Folk tune was generated with the Yamaha E313. The lead guitar break needs replaced with a violin, but… THE FINAL HOUR Welcome to the final hour Everybody kneel…

Another one of my esoteric-flavored Political Folk tunes. KINGS OF MILK AND HONEY When no king could claim the throne Deputies took hold Joe made ships to sail out west On a quest for gold Up North Ozzie asked to join “Fuse this…

A Blues number, and in the past it’s been one of my more popular songs. We’ll see how it does on AloneTone. MY FAVORITE GUN Pa had left us on the farm Ten long years we raised the corn Then he returned to Mama’s arms To beat the sons…

For the First President of the Surry Alternative Realities Society. PARANOID SAGE The paranoid sage cries all night long Praying that things had not gone wrong But no one ever turns back the time for him Swaying on the brim The paranoid…

Inspired by “Peter Pan Syndrome” by Dr. Kyle. “Gr'ups,” which means “grown ups,” comes from an original series Star Trek episode. PETER NA NA NANANA NANA NA NANANA PETER! YOU’RE SCARED OF YOUR MOM, YOU HATE YOUR DAD YOU BETTER GET…

On one hand, one of my most horrid recordings, but on another hand, one of my most interesting. Warning – the second half of the song gets rather creepy. Have fun! SOMEDAY Sweet Lolita Young Your lucid, aged mirage Dancing in your eyes…

WALKIN' BLUES Where were you Saturday night When I was in jail because I was in an awful fight? You were roaming' the streets with a man they call “The Knife” Where were you Last Tuesday eve' When I was at home alone? (And man…

[untitled] Label what you will Untitled leave this I Don’t deny I am Forsaking the asking of why Perhaps lacking the aching to why This Here Now, it is And thus is what am I Willing what you will

Another pitiful recording, this one featuring my first attempt at rapping – if ya want to call it that! EVERYONE (The Empty Stage) Everyone – they look at me; they wonder who I am They want to know if I’m for real but I don’t give a…

I’m not one to repeat a rumor… so listen close the first time. GOSSIP Legends in the warehouse Gossip in the halls Rumors in the office Ears upon the walls Hiding round the corner Straining for each sound Car-pool to the lunchroom…

Clearly one of my poorer recordings. In the Dark Want to want me, try to taunt me Keep me quiet, keep me in the dark Like to hit me, try to get me Figure out me when I’m in the dark Will alert me, would convert me Witness to me how…

Combined words of homeless men across America the night of the Winter Solstice in 2010 when there was a full moon, a lunar eclipse, and a meteor shower. Baby grand piano performed by Starry Nightmoth.

My contract with Jennifer Rose. MAKE IT THROUGH I don’t have too much to give I don’t have too long to live I just want to be your friend Can I spend my years with? Can I share my tears with you? I will love until the end I…

More GEM-style Blues. NASTY LITTLE GIRL Nasty little girl, standing on the corner Up against the light, up against the night Nasty little world weighing on your shoulder Turning tricks again, giving up the fight Naughty little child…

One of my personal favorite recordings from the 52 song MYTHOPOETICA demo collection, even though there’s a sound quality issue (the bass had a bit of a buzz). This was my first time using a wammy bar – I liked it! PLASTIC GIRL You can’t…

Uhm… not my worse. SOLIDARITY Wading in the marshes of reality Pacing to the songs we sing Fearing those who alter our mentality Running from the pain they bring Hiding in the shelters of our fantasy Someplace we can rest our…

This demo recording turned out particularly well, especially when compared to how most of my MYTHOPOETICA recordings sound. The lead guitar employs an Eastern Folk scale and style of picking, greased with GEM-style Blues butter. SUPER YOU…

Blues. My way of playing “Rollin' in My Sweet Baby’s Arms,” ‘cuz I’m a Soul man. See the Soul-patch? Dig. Be cool, cats, and stay dry!
