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.

There are many different kinds of bread....

"This one came from a conversation I overheard on the 15 Third bus on the way to work one morning. A guy was talking about how he DUI'd in his brand new Mustang and how everything went down hill from there. Later that week, I saw him preaching…

The Dean of Rhythm, Brother Kevin John Kenny, has been a long-time advocate of this song that chronicles what was going on in the world of San Francsco mixed-use commercial-residential zoned building in the late 1990s.

A further elaboration of Nick Ciampi's classic tune "Coke Valley." Features references to a classic Ned Beaty movie that has caused generations of young men to pucker any time they hear the work "SQUEEL" or the phrase "purty mouth."

You have a decision to make.

Say What? Stand Back!

He's no hodad daddy-o.

You know when it's time to leave.

Thank you Edison, thank you electricity!

Another true tale. This one chronicling the turning point in my life: getting nearly-killed with brass knuckles on Paine's Creek Road in Red Buff. Ca. in 1992.

This chord progression came to me along with the title. I had no lyrics until I met Zeldar from Gamma Quadrant at the Nation's on Webster Street in Alameda, Ca. This might be my pop song....

I wrote this one about mysterious singer who used to busk at a gas station in Redding. It was his scene and he played it like he owned it.He had a song called "Concrete Mana" and another one called "Luanne" that I wish I had recorded.

This is a song about an unknown girl in an mysterious painting....

"This song is real. I had this nagging sense that I needed to write a song about it and I kept dragging my feet. It came out at the end of the first recording session, lyrics only. Very painful and very powerful to write: it was a cosmic moment…

When the times get tough and you begin to hit bottom, keep the faith: you must be living somebody else's dream. "Herman Cian's smoking ad, the Occupation movement, Prii and boots, a potential financial index relating to the height of women…

"Remember that song you wrote about 25 different summer nights in Chico? Tin Pan Alley it and make sure you throw some Smiths references in there. You always loved Morrissey. You thought to call it 'Red Cups in the Kitchen' way before that Koby…
