These songs represent a specific place and time, absent of therapy, full of life-comin’-at-ya moments that change your molecules and callus your soul. All of that to say, much of this material springs from stubbornness, obsessiveness, laziness, cowardice, and, hopefully, some hope. All of it congealed and lifted from me like a blob. I had not made an album of music in over ten years. Somehow it happened and it kept me going.

In a lot of ways I have already started to heal from the themes that permeate these recordings, but I am proud of the outcome.

I want to thank:
Drew Pompano
Andrew Morris
and Jen Tonon
for their long-distance contributions to these songs.
You’re all very cool, you’re all very talented,and you’re all very charitable.

I want to thank my wife, Cristina, and my kids, for their endless patience. For being daily reminders of love and endurance and creativity.

My heart is full and my hair is graying.
