Sometimes a face is all you remember. And it's haunting.

Your Face

Not "Where'd you go?" but "Where'd you stay?" 

Where'd You Stay?

Back in the days (no pun intended) when I felt the need to visit a chiropractor.

Out of Line

Some pre-nostalgia, written while I was stationed in Berlin. I knew I'd miss the place when I left, and I still do.

Back in Berlin Again

Play Through the Pain consists of six songs Brad wrote at a time of great emotional distress. It may have been a mid-life crisis, although he was 50 so it was probably more of a two-thirds crisis. The object of his infatuation was innocent, and probably not really the crux of the matter at all. This episode was just a realization of fifty decades creeping up on him, the resulting breakdown, and an effort to seize upon something Brad felt he might have missed during those years. As he always did, he worked his way through the trauma with his music ... and these fine songs are the positive result of the pain. Note that although he wrote the songs, Brad does not do any singing on this album. Steven Cooper did the musical arrangements, and Mak Kaylor and Brian Glenn provided the vocals.

Please feel free to record any of my songs for your next album. All I ask is a writing credit. Thanks! I've been writing and singing my original material since the age of sixteen. Now I've reached 70, so it's probably too late to open for Taylor Swift. While I'm not writing much anymore, I still sing and strum.
