Test Drive

Self-produced Jethro-Tullish song based on "Le Cittá Invisibili" by Italo Calvino from "10 Songs in 20 Days" project (2011).

Fair Despina, your smokestacks and full sails turn to meet this desert nomad
Craving adventure on the high seas, ready to leave these lines in the sand
But returning to your port, I see your hills like a camel's back
Seasick and yearning again for a change as soon as I unpack

Octavia perched on a spider's web, a city built to number its days
The abyss never out of our sight, tempting fate with each building we raise
I think that I'd go mad with uncertainty; the citizens swear I'm wrong
They say that though the day's a mystery, the net can only hold so long

I'll be one stone among thousands in a bridge to you
And who's to say which one we could least afford to lose
The strength we take is from the shape we make so stay connected and awake
And we'll make it through

Perinthia, the stars dictated the form you took, the plans that we made
Pleasing the gods with your precision, paradise would be surely conveyed
But monsters fill the streets now, we hear their howls ascend
Did we get the calculations wrong?  Or is this what the gods intend?

For A Moment - rough cut(Willy Wonka)

I wrote this a few years back after yet another school shooting when I was flying back from a business trip. The words came to me in a stream of consciousness and I didn't stop writing until everything poured out of me. Sadly, this song is yet again poignant and relevant.

Chimera

This is the first song I wrote from that unknown place that occasionally leaks out words, melodies, and rhythms. 

This recording from the Oakie Flats' Airstream gave way to the 2004 EP I did with Scott Shute.

The Hugheshute

Okay, Okay

A stoney little instrumental groove that folds into some happy-go-lucky foot-tapper.  

Ken suggested getting rid of the talking part, famously saying "It'd change it from a 'skip-through' to a 'skip-to'!
