The first time I dated a non-binary person, it struck me that there were very few love sounds out there for they/thems. For all the shes, hes, yous…where were the sweet, saucy songs for the non-binary babes?

Meanwhile, that sweetheart had once jokingly referred to themselves as my “little trans lover” in a text. I was sitting in a Zoom meeting and that text instantly burst into a little ditty in thoughts. I recorded the song as a voice note for date (after the meeting, natch), and that was that.

But considering that lack of non-binary love songs, I didn’t want to keep the song just between us. I got my go-to musician pals Steve Dawson, Gary Craig and Jeremy Holmes on board and we recorded a full band version of the song. 

Thus, I present, Summer is Hot With My Little Trans Lover.

Long Time Leaving  

Alone in This

"At thirteen years old, singer-songwriter Christa Couture lost her left leg to bone cancer. After months of chemotherapy and radiotherapy, an above-the-knee amputation was only cure; she was lucky to have it. 

But life with a prosthetic leg was far from easy. All of the things non-amputees take for granted - walking up and down stairs, finding balance, even dancing - took strength and perseverance, something Christa has in spades.

In this moving story, Christa recounts a particularly awkward junior high dance... one that was so traumatizing that it kept her off of the dance floor for decades. 

Find out how a brand new microprocessor knee - and a prosthetic covered in an amazing floral fabric - changed everything."
