you tell me what you want
you tell what you need
i cant give you nothing honey
but this pretty little seed
where has the sun gone
and is it gone forever
will it come back someday
should we just give it some time
i ask you what…
when i was 18 i took in a runaway
she crawled into my bed on the 7th day
i played her music and i cooked her food
i did everything i thought i should
i let her sleep late and i paid her way
then her dad showed up one day
well she had grown…

you are like the rain that falls with the snow
or is it the other way around
i dont know
all i know is i love you
and cant get above you
it is driving with no place to go
the muscle and the bone i find
that keeps my heart in line
just…

i saw the curtains changing color
i watched the sun room come alive
i have been sitting in this rocker
wondering when you might arrive
i am hoping for redemption
cant stand the way i feel
i know it is only passing through me
rivers flood…
thanks
yes, this were recorded for the rpm challenge. i only drew on my note books for two songs and just for inspiration. i had already meet the 35 minutes of music requerment for the project but felt the subject of my friends death last february (shadow of the son) needed to be adressed. what a great experience (rpm)

Meathead syndrome,
No goals, no control.
The light, the time
It’s in my mind,
Oh fine,
Won’t be polite
Some lines
Have not progressed in Mind
Meathead syndrome,
No goals, no control,
Meathead syndrome,
No cure,
Not attuned to be here
Oh leave…
2009 Record Production Month Challenge offering. Very pleased with the collective results. This track was the first one completed for the RPM challenge this year.
This is the finished version of Iris Florentine. The acoustic version is still up, though...

young and lovely, with a wise patina
tapping her toe like Degas' ballerinas…
great bass sound. singing like a girl is a strenght not weakness. you dont really sound like a girl. i think what you are afraid of is being emotional .....like a girl. please that is so much better than the alternative. be happy

one hand clapping in the sycamore trees
while you're out mapping the coast
won't you come back, brother, oh please
I swear that I miss you the most

like the organ tone. what do you use to record? are the guitars direct? what about the drums. i like that you write from experience. again very dynamic
For the RPMC 2009 album "Sabbatical"
From a news story last year about UFOs over Phoenix. They turned out to be some lighted balloons some guy had set aloft. So this tune about UFO paranoia.
i have a think for the south west. lived ther on and off. i have been to south mountain many times and watched the city. for such an ambient piece it is very well thought out if you know what i mean.

sweet voice, like an angel tim
it is not nice to fool mother nature! tim
hey here you are on the hit list! alright tim
i think as a collection this holds up pretty well nice job tim
yes potatoes are very subsantial. i like the story. life on the run but not really. nice cat tim
i enjoy the starkness of the begining and enjoy the poetry tim
nice piano playing . cool build. i like the tone and emotion in your vocals. some hot licks
nice intro. sounds like 2006 was a tuff year for love
classic song about love. usually time to move on. people dont ever really change. some nice changes in the progression tim
well put together. very clever and well thought out melodies tim
i like the simple riff and how you then build around it. i think you should publish all your words under the "about "tab.
great bass sound. singing like a girl is a strenght not weakness. you dont really sound like a girl. i think what you are afraid of is being emotional .....like a girl. please that is so much better than the alternative. be happy tim
i like the quirky picking and as always the story is what draws me in. nice tim
like the organ tone. what do you use to record? are the guitars direct? what about the drums. i like that you write from experience. again very dynamic
a lot of folks just dont have a good handle on how to use their voice effectivly. you use yours in a great dinamic way
i keep coming back to your work. i like your style i guess tim
another nascar fan? nice playing. clever words
boy we could all use a little lesson in love if there was such a thing.
