Three times over the last three months I have found myself faced with someone who honestly believes the Earth is flat. Not like in a joking way, but in a full on don't-believe-the-conspiracy way. It's an insult to the intelligence of every human…

I woke up this morning and looked out the window at all of the snow. The endless landscape of blank, frozen emptiness, and I just felt sick. I wanted nothing more than to go back to bed and sleep until May. So what did I do to combat this depression…

A song about greater Boston traffic. Just when you think you have it figured out... urgh. I always sit in 4/4 time. I often need to just break out of it and do something different. This time it's 6/8, but I feel lots of 7/8 and 5/4 are on…

This was the first thing I came up with for 50/90, and it's taken almost a month to finish it. Why might that be? Might it be because I'm not very happy with it? Might be. The lyrics aren't about anything, I just made them up and they fit…

Veejay and I wanted to do something special for our dad for Father's Day in 2012, so we took one of the songs that he wrote when he was much younger and covered it. In a way, we are recognizing our genetic musical heritage. Joseph Andres: lyrics…

I had been choosing songs to perform during communion in my church's Sunday services. One Saturday night I was having trouble finding a song that had the themes that I wanted to address, so I wrote one. JV Andres - guitar, vocals Veejay Andres…
