It has been  scorching hot these days. We are a little sick from the summer heat. I hope you feel cool and comfortable with this breezy song.

Passing Summer

This is an old song, originally written in 1992 or '93 while on a hitchhiking trip through the Nevada desert from Boise to Tucson Arizona. It took my friend and I eight days on the road to travel about 700 miles. 

The title is a reference to the two of us standing on opposite sides of the highway, willing to take a ride any direction as long as it got us out of there. It's about desperation, resignation, freedom, harassment, and finding beauty in the midst of extremes.

It is an experience I will personally never forget, and I have written the story once before but it was destroyed when a computer crashed and literally caught on fire before I could print it.

In the last few years I have started to try and tackle writing it again, and I stalled out a bit. Maybe revisiting this song will help inspire me to finish   documenting the tale?

Ron and I originally recorded this song with our old band Godzoundz, but it was only ever released on a very limited cassette run. We decided a while back that we should chip away at re-recording these songs and try to give them their due as it was all pretty deep underground back then. So here's the first one of those.

Our basement studio flooded a couple weeks ago and production has been temporarily slowed, so we thought we'd trot out some of these oddities and misfits while we chip away at reworking our studio and getting it put back together. Hope you enjoy!

Two Way Thumb

So this song takes the idea of home and expands it outward beyond conventional ideological boundaries of what a home might be. Some of this may sound odd, in the sense of 4 walls, a floor, and a roof as home. So where might our home be? Out beyond our neighborhood perhaps, the region where we live, the continent we’re on, maybe our planet, or somewhere in the cosmos? If we settle on a suitable idea that is somewhat believable for us, it may be that our ‘home’ is, at the very least, the planet we live on. Our home planet. So wherever we go on Earth, we are home, as the song suggests. Please bear with me on this, as it may get a bit allegorical: I like that idea of this larger sense of home, as we might not dump trash, sewage, and all sorts of toxins inside our home, or pollute our home in other ways. We may begin to see what a large, incredible family we have at home. Don’t ya think? It may allow us to get along with each other a little better than we have been? (As an example, you should see me with me with my family at times, it can be frustrating… hee-hee.) We probably wouldn’t set off/drop so many bombs and blast the crap out of our home like we do now, if we saw the Earth as our home. Or ignorantly flood or burn down our home, in our stubborn refusal to appreciate the reality of what it takes to maintain a home like Earth. If we come back to the idea of a conventional home, well there’s all sorts of problems with that too. Here are some of them. Some of us have homes, some of us don’t. There are many reasons for that. Some of us have lost our homes. Some of us do not like our homes, some of us never leave our homes. Some of us despise each other for not having homes, or having too many homes, or having too large of a home, etc…. Where do we feel at home these days with the state of homeability or lack there of? My conventional home, allows me to live here, be that wherever it may be for any of us. Anyway, this song also gave me the opportunity to dust off my mandolin and recorder, as they pretty much sat there all summer with long faces wondering what I was up to. So now they’re happy and I hope this song shares some of their happiness with you….. m

Lyrics:
Wasted tears, for so many years
With degrading voices in my head

But i was wrong, in fact I'm really strong!
I need to stop tearing myself down..

i am good enough as i am
Upbuilding voices will be my new friend..

My old has to go, its time to grow
I will plant a budding voice inside me..

Cause i was wrong, in fact I'm really strong!
i need to stop tearing myself down..

I am good enough as i am
Upbuilding voices will be my new friend..

I was wrong, in fact I'm really strong!
I need to stop tearing myself down..

I am good enough as i am
Upbuilding voices will be my new friend..

Brighter days, a smile upon my face
That's what I'm going for from now on

Cause i was wrong, in fact I'm really strong!
I need to stop tearing myself down..

I am good enough as i am
Upbuilding voices will be my new friend....

A few years back I recorded Perry Clemons, my father in-law playing the song "Wave" a classic. Recently I added a few tracks to  compliment the song and mix / mastered. Enjoy his wonderful tasteful guitar playing.

Thank you for visiting my SC page!
I have been playing in rock bands for more than 50 years having had many exciting gigs.
Playing in the band in front of an audience is an incredible joy especially playing my own original songs.
About ten years ago, I was having problems with my hearing due to playing too many gigs, so I decided to give my ears a rest and focus on making demos at home.
DAW software has made remarkable advances, and now it's easy to overdub and finish a song if you can play  instruments. 
In addition to playing in a band, I discovered the joy of completing songs with overdub on my own.While I was taking a break from my band activities, original songs were piling up on my hard drive one after another.
I wondered if there was any way to get more people to listen to my songs? 
At that time, I happened to learn about a platform called SoundCloud. Musicians from all over the world participated and uploaded their songs there. I also set up my own page on SoundCloud and used it as a place to release my original songs.
Since I started this page, quite a few listeners have come and given me a lot of positive comments. Much more than I expected! I am very happy to contact many excellent musicians through SC. 
Just when I thought I had resumed my band activities, the coronavirus pandemic began. Many musicians lost their place to work and were at a loss.
The pandemic has finally ended, and now Japan's venues have regained their former vitality.
Now I enjoy having gigs and making one-man band songs simultaneously.
