These are songs or fragments of songs I've recorded over the last 10 years or so.  Most of the songs are from a one time session.  An idea comes on an acoustic guitar.  I lay that track down and build on it with other instruments.  The vocals, in many cases, are just grabbing a microphone, having an idea of how the phrasing will go and then spewing whatever words come out at that moment.  Then it seems I have to immediately be done with the song and move on!  It's been a fun way to work.  Hope you get some enjoyment out of them.

When You See Me

This song was inspired by the locals that hung out at the Pin Room; the bar in the Arcata Bowling Alley which is no longer there.  A fair amount of them lived at the trailer park across the street on "K" St.

Beleaguered

All the Rage

Die Laughing

Samson

This was recorded the same night i recorded "Yesterday's Nose"  They sound a lot a like.  I also just grabbed the mic and left what gibberish was there.  I think it turned out pretty good!

Sing With Me

For this song I just grabbed the mic and started spittin, yo.  I do like the line "blowin Yesterday's Nose" though.  I guess it could be about looking for change too.

Yeaterday's Nose

Roger and I were bored one November day.  He was visiting me in Santa Cruz.  This was back in 2008 I believe.  We decided we wanted to make a video so we first made a song.  It's about our weekend.  I love this song.

Summer in November

This song is about all of us conforming to consumerism and edgy stuff like that.
