This song was written to benefit the Floyd County Humane Society. It features some of our furry friends and a great pedal steel track by Dave Fason. Davz Not Heare is on Bass and Janiah Allen on drums, Bob Dillard on guitar, with myself covering the keys and vocals.. A fun tune with a purpose. A portion of the revenues from this song will go to the Floyd County Humane Society. 

My Friends

A bluesy rocking song with great saxaphone by Ralph Brown and kicking guitar by Bob Dillard.. This song was great fun to record and Janiah Allen and Davz Not Hear did awesome as well.  I hold down the fort on the keys with a chance to belt a bit vocally!

What Are We Here For

This is a song written for my partner and sweetheart Sandy. The piano is featured on it, with some nice backup vocals by Kari Kovick and Abagail Bowen.  Solid drums and percussion by Janiah Allen combine with a nice bass groove by Davz Not Heare.. The song is fun to play out and really loads up at the end.. Once again a pleasure to work with everyone on this recording.

Never Done

Equalizer is written about a storm moving in and all the ramifications of such an event. It could be a metaphor as well for our times.. Ralph Brown plays the soprano sax and the song suggests a whole different result to these events. Came out of  a jam with Reptile DysFUNKchen.. thanks again to all the cd players.. Rock on!

Equalizer

The instrumental Needle and Thread came during a jam one night at Bob' studio. It features myself on keys and Bob Dillard on guitar in a high flying instrumental that has edges of Pink Floyd. It was recorded live in Bob's studio with T.G. Williams on drums and Steve Duiser on bass.  I wrote the chord progression and Bob added his special touches. The song really soars. Hope you enjoy listening as much as we did playing it!

Needle And Thread

A quiet song, i wrote this for my mom, Margaret Grubel, who passed in May of 2014. From the cd Stay Above the Radar, With much appreciation i share this for her. Martin Scudder played the violin and Mixing and Mastering was done at Windfall Studios by Dave Fason! Thanks all!

Free With Wings

River of Song is a rousing conclusion to the new cd (if you don't count the reprise of Stay Above the Radar live)  Written for my two beautiful daughters Amy and Dolphin who will "carry on".  Backup vocals add a nice dimension to the ending of this song with guitar, keys, drums bass moving along on a solid rocker!  Dave Fason recorded, mixed and mastered this beauty at Windfall Studios just down the road from my home.. What a nice experience to not have to drive for hours and have such a quality job done! thanks to all and may we thrive in the River of Song.

River Of Song

song i wrote for a friend who was running a coffee shop at the time.. does a pretty good job of hitting the coffee stride!  Enjoy your mojo!

Cup Of Coffee

A high flying track with the trio Grace Note.. Recorded in 1991 by Jaris Dreaming we had fun putting this title track for that cd together.. This has always been one of my favorite songs!

I Always Dreamed Of Flying

a fun call and return that has been part of my repertoire for many years! "Bring peace to the world, bring love to your heart, bring joy to this day of life!"
