This is the 1st thing I have written for a while. A simple and short remembering of all the 1st of May songs, which of course will mean somewhat different things in both hemispheres. They will however be about change and the excitement that summer or winter can bring to us all. As I was out walking in the month of May.......so many songs thru the ages start right there.

I would maybe like to develop this into a 4 minute....ish Symphonic form.

The 1st Of May

From The Hamilton in Washington, DC. Recorded on August 23rd, 2013. 

Red Rocking Chair

Recorded at The Hamilton in Washington, DC, on August 23rd, 2013

Cluck Old Hen

This is from a worship album I did back in 1994.
The song is written by my wife Melinda.
Although I cringe at the whole over the top Christian content, I must admit that Melinda's song writing skills were fantastic.

You Answered Us

Prayer

First single from "Badlands". Full album out Friday August 4th, 2023.

In Petrichorus

This song was written after feeling scared about the future, lack of money, getting older, my parents getting older & feeling lonely in a new country. I didn't want to be aware of bad things anymore, about climate change and wars, paying bills,  dying, etc. I wanted to feel like a little kid again, finding joy in everything, not knowing what the real world was like.

Ignorant

You have either consciously chosen to side with the people who are being continually massacred by Israel, or you have consciously chosen to side with Israel, or you have sided with Israel by being "neutral", or you have sided with Israel by being indifferent.

Reading by Tim Foley.

I Don't Want to Get Married

I have always been a dreamer and a creative. My music is more atmosheric and dripping with evocative tendencies. Ideally the music will work better with eyes closed in a mindful kind of way....or attached to images of my own creation. In 2022 I hope to move in the more visual way of presenting the music I create. In a hiphop saturated world, I know my music has potential. On SoundCloud I am hoping to somehow connect with people that will be interested in my music and maybe collaborate on some projects. I would love to hear from you.
