This is a song about someone John met when he moved to Arizona in 1975. A brief encounter that left inspiration for a song.

Otherside T. Boudreau It’s a lazy day Nothing in my way And I swing and I and I sway just like the laundry out on the line I hum a little tune One that reminds me of you Perhaps a bit too soon since I was just getting used to living…

Karma Working Overtime T Boudreau I can see that your tired and uninspired A bit too wired to sleep You’ve pondered all there is to wonder I bet you’ve counted every sheep And all those endless ear worms in your mind That's karma working…

Fathoms deep

John wrote this in 1972. 9 years earlier, as an 8th grader living in West Virginia, he knew the day would come when he would "set sail" to other parts of the country/world. That day came in 1975 with a journey that ultimately landed him in New…

A trip to Disneyland.

I think this is the third time I've uploaded a version of this song to this account. I also think I've been unhappy with the mix of all three. Oh well. I might remix this. I say that a lot when I post new recordings, but it might actually…

Mike (Dragonsong) asked me to sing this poem, from a well loved C17th Somerset folk song, over his music - was a lovely pleasure.

This is not the same ponderous endless time being that was mentioned by someone, somewhere. But rather I touch the water lightly and expecting the circles to disappear. And again.

well this will be kind of random for my listeners... but what the "hey" as they say! In a bit of a writing desert lately, but had a lovely walk two days ago, and got inspired by the sounds coming from newly frozen ice with at least 1000 migrating…

Track 2 of I Am Not Resigned As the beloved gradually reveals themselves, cracks start to appear. There are major, major things wrong with this person, they are broken. But the one who loves says, no, I'm not going to walk away, I'm going to…

So, I had this mad idea of a song with just two chords, well I do like a bit of insanity now and again.

A silly, sort of dreamlike / lullaby-ish tune, about weird travels on a bubble-gum balloon. Lyrics: See one time I was chewing bubble gum and it was mighty fine I blew a bubble so big it took me up into the sky So this is the story of where…

Haven't done a lengthy experimental track in quite a while. In light of Halloween and the times we're living in i thought the page needed a solid turn.

Poor old Reg is off to rehab again ...maybe this time he'll learn Tomorrow is another day It was Wednesday in the car on the way to rehab The family they were crying in the street goodbye As the car pulled over a man in white said…

(Remastered 22/10/2021) I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995. Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…
