Sometimes I need to play a sad one.

Just a mellow one to round things off. Thanks for listening.

About twenty billion years ago, when dinosaurs roamed the earth and Roland's D50 was new, I found this patch called "spanisheart" and plunked down a new-agey tune. Which I promptly forgot about for years. Every now and then, I catch myself playing…

I wrote this to be sung by a dear, now-departed friend who sadly committed suicide while working on a new album of very exciting material. I have a whole mess of "dead Kevin" songs which are in the wrong key, which I've been avoiding like the…

A song about a rather unsavory character. Fathers, lock up your daughters!

Another strictly me-and-an-acoustic track. Mostly about a kind-of-unstable girl I knew way back before I knew better. Now I know better! Good closer.

each time I’d look at you I was looking for a breakthrough some emptied sigh, some reasons why everything I’d left behind reckless provisions for some blooming vine followed me, in the back of my mind forgive me, mother for the lamb…

Don't refrain Have no regrets You've made your choice On how it ends And this is what you want to say time to explain away to friends Our time is up For what we have For what we do It’s blind to blind We’ll have to bear Our testimony has to withstand…

Walking through the fields Red peppers were stinging Climbing up the hill Webs were cast away Now etched in your history I begin to pray I pray For you to sing your song a final time it’s The only song that you ever knew I’m already forgetting…

March 1, 2012. RPM is over... Now what? How about we go back in time and dig up all of the songs that have been laying around unfinished, unrecorded, or poorly recorded and finish them off? Sounds good to me. There is another version of this…

Love me tender, love me sweet, never let me go. You have made my life complete, and I love you so. Love me tender, love me true, all my dreams fulfilled. For my darlin' I love you, and I always will. Love me tender, love me long, take me to…

Please release me, let me go For I don't love you anymore To waste our lifes would be a sin Release me and let me love again I have found a new love, dear And I will always want her near Her lips are warm while yours are cold Release me my darling…
