If You Could See Me Now

I started this album in 2015, in a guitar store in Munich.  I went in at the beginning of a month-long backpacking trip with my family, and there were so many fabulous guitars that I simply could not decide which one to buy to take with me.  So, leaving empty-handed, my daughter Sage asked if she could buy a little pink ukulele for nine Euro.  Sure!  Why not.  Well, the rest they say is history.  I wrote ten songs that summer on the pink uke.  All of them different, and exploring all kinds of topics from horseflies and castles to the current identity crisis in Europe, mysterious beer, and World War II.  The album plays as a cohesive snapshot of our time there, our time on this planet, and the future we're leaving for our children.  Most of all though, I hope you will hear the joy and hope in my music.  Life's path is a Wünderweg:  a wonderful way around.  I hope you enjoy. -Marty
