They were talking about money on NPR. I found a picture of a very large banknote.

They were talking about Jack Teagarden on NPR. I decided to go with the other kind of tea garden. Layered, like rows of tea trees...

A customer came into the shop and wanted to talk about lentils. So be it.

The sort of banalities that help one get through the day . . . the radio is playing music so I'm relying on conversation for inspiration . . .

They were playing something "different" on the radio; a Charles Mingus tune. So I played something "different" too.

little critters singing

In my late teens I was in a hard rock band and this was one of our songs. This recording is not the band but myself doing all the instruments and vocals. Our singer Kevin wrote the lyrics but I forgot some of the lines and adlibbed a bit of it…

Song about the Chiapas revolution

Sung by Matthew Garey.

Matt composed the music for the original musical 1001 Nights (help--was that the title?) in 1974. The Kennedy Center play production class presented the musical as its summer project that year. Here Matt records a rehearsal tape.

Sung by Matthew Garey.

Reverberating church bells ringing through the thin, mountain air.

Singing, soulful, heartfelt, pop, R&B
