Sometimes you feel so good, you feel almost three feet tall. Written for my nephew, Charlie, on the occasion of his adoption by my brother and sis-in-law.

Three Feet Tall

an ode to the vanished American freak show

Soundable Songs

Walmart, Just After Midnight

That's When Shit Gets Real

A song about the longings…of a vampire
A bit of a 70's Bowie sound.

Looking For The Light

Tumor

A dark and gothic country-ish song about a trip to the museum of the King of Western Swing. The fiddle samples came from a recording I made a tremendously long time ago, screwing around with an old steel-stringed fiddle that belonged to my grandfather.

King of Western Swing

Spanish as translated by Google, lyrics as ridiculous as the translation. I'm sure you know enough Spanish to follow along! If you really need a hint, the cover art should give you a clue.

Oh Dios Mio

The tale of a stormy night in the West… I had fun making the thunder "speak" in this one.

The Dunes

I'd never owned a classical guitar before. Just bought one, and this is the first thing I've recorded, a two-guitar take on a lament I composed back in college. Anthony Phillips' album "Antiques" was definitely an inspiration here.

Lament

A two-guitar classical piece, elaborated from one of the first songs I ever wrote, when I was 13. Pretty and brief! I was definitely channeling Anthony Phillips's marvelous album "Antiques" here.
