A song for anyone who's spent any time at all with a human toddler.

We tried to convey the feeling you get when you're trying for the high ground, but become mired in a quickly setting pool of regret and "if only", that's threatening to make you merely a sad sculpture.

This started as what I thought was a pretty nifty riff. Then, it got a title, and some years later Christine wrote the lyrics and melody.

A bit of acoustic fun. I guess you could call it prog folk.

You had me at, "Of All the gin joints in all the towns in all the world..." Kind of a tribute to the movies. The ending evokes in me the wrenching from dreamcraft to lifecast when the final credits roll.

This song was written for a songwriting challenge issued by the MN Association of Songwriters where the title had to include the word 2021. I am uploading it this morning on a very proud day here in the USA - Inauguration day 2021!!!!! I am…

Power trios have always been my favorite kind of rock band. I like them so much, I'm in one. This was written for them, but with the pandemic and our minuscule practice studio, I did this at home, all by myself.

This is Part B) of the Miscellany Trilogy. Parts One and aye, aye, aye to come. It's all recorded live by me. Only the acoustic guitar was done in one take. I had to learn the bass, drums (poorly) and keyboard parts, so mistakes were made…

We used to play poker for stuff. For example, "I'm in for this houseplant" "I'll see your houseplant and raise you a Butthole Surfers pin" "Too rich for me" "Ok, I'm in for the houseplant, the pin, and this baseball cap" Usually my bluffs…
