“Spiritual #1” was written about an escalator at the 16th Street/Mission BART station that always had a pile of some unknown substance gurgling at the bottom landing. Beware the “Slide of filth.”

“Troubled Times” was written for Johnny Cash to sing. It is a partially true tale, like so many good ones. It features the existential question "Who first coined the phrase good grief? Such a phrase is beyond belief...."

“Tremblin’ Earth” was inspired by a early morning earthquake that set off my stereo and caused me to fell my trembling abode. It was very biblical, lamentation, gnashing of teeth, rending of garments, and Mingus’ “Blues and Roots” spilling out…

My friend Craig Bourne wrote the line "Too much crying too much thinking, not enough laughing not enough drinking" and it flipped a switch and the rest of the song emerged a few days later.

I'll tell you right now
I don't cry

If you leave me behind I'll have a crow's nest of a life

I wrote this song a long time before I ever wrote it down: it lived in my head for nearly a decade before I recorded it in 2002. I am happy to dust it off and let it breathe again. I hope you enjoy.

A tasty little ramekin full of denial served about 10 years before its time. Sometimes you write them, record them, discard them, and then trip over them while living them years later. Tongue-in-cheek when it was written, cruel and cold when it…
