Scratch -  Episode 2 - Afghanistan

Live Interview and Performance on KDRP (Bo Chase In The Morning)

Recorded live at Rockwood Music Hall, December 28, 2013.

Cedar Beach (Live At Rockwood Music Hall)

-- Lyrics --

There's an ochre palomino by the road
She looks like she is itching to be rode
She stomps her hooves and shakes her mane at me

the paint is peeling off her stable doors
she was bred for speed and looks and nothing more
a hand grenade just waiting to be thrown
	
Oh wait, you're crumbling on the road

I could have rode her twenty years before
But I don't think I could mount up anymore
the earth is turning slower everyday

Oh wait, you're crumbling on the road

-- Hoursongs --

Hoursongs are songs written as improvisations, written within a strict time limit of an hour.

Ochre Palomino (Hoursongs 20.12.1 - Sketch Demo)

I dream of the worlds into which we will someday wake.
