Somebody isn’t very good sync’ing audio with video. I’ll say no more. The Smoke Song Lyrics: There’s smoke in the forest Where the forest ought to be I ought to climb down this old burning tree But I’m looking out the ocean Looking out to sea But there’s smoke in the water where my boat …

This is another one I came up with while driving around. The melody feels really familiar and old timey. I don’t know if it’s some standard melody or what. Usually I don’t feel like what I’m singing is anything I’ve heard before, but this time it did.

For this one I did two live takes from two different perspectives and then laid down a couple voices for the chorus and a string backing. So it’s live with some post work. The clapping is to help me sync the audio (recorded on the pc) with the video (recorded on a Vado). Also I …
This is a live take of a song I’ve been working on. I don’t think it’s gonna go much further than this. It’s just kind of what it is and doesn’t need any big production. You can’t see the piano, but it’s down there below the mic… 🙂 Anyway, I didn’t really know I was …
If the Old Cowboys song had some kind of political undertone then this one comes wrapped and ready for church. Lyrics seem to get formed from the sounds that show up. So the themes usually seem outside my control. That’s probably not really true, but usually I feel kind of puzzled about the words. So …
Thought I’d continue along with the normal voice experiment. I don’t really know where this song came from. I’m not very political, but this song is.

When I first met Lois I was playing guitar and singing with a kind of high tenor voice. When I started doing songs with piano, I flipped my Leonard Cohen coin and started singing in the gutter range. Lois doesn’t dislike the gutter voice too much, but she often says that she wishes I’d sing …
This past weekend at the Sumner Knight Chapel was really amazing. The Chapel itself is set way back in a cemetery. It was a standing room only crowd of 120 or so. I started off with a story and then Redwing Blackbird did a set, followed by Red Heart the Ticker, and then Sam Amidon. …
The first episode of “Atoms, Motion & the Void” airs today on WSPS 90.5 FM and as long as nothing blows up, it’ll continue on Fridays at 5 pm. Very exciting! Listen on PC via the live stream. You can also get the stream on your iPhone/iTouch using Internet RadioBOX (simply use the app’s built-in …
We live near a really nice forest. There’s a long path that leads out into various nowheres. And there’s a huge sandpits that we walk to in the summer. In the winter, it’s for sledding. Sherwin did a quick improv piano song. I’m wearing the orange vest thing cause it’s hunting season.
