LA Comedian Sumukh Torgalkar asked me to write a song for the closing credits of a short documentary he made about Michael Richards (aka Kramer). This is that song. The documentary can be viewed here: https://youtu.be/81yCKKO8Lp0

Things get uncomfortable every time that I speak
I always feel like your smile is outta reach
I'm not there, but I'm here
I'm not there, but I'm here
I'm not there... I'm here.

I'm Here

A song for LA Comedian Sumukh Torgalkar's commercial for O'Doul's, a non-alcoholic beer. Video can be seen here: https://youtu.be/0OYsuuKqRKw

When the hard day is done and you're ready for fun
Reach for the beer that is second to none
Just you and the boys doing what real men do
Living the wild, rugged, life with O'Doul's

O'Doul's! Nothin tastes freer!
O'Doul's! It's America's beer!

It's cold and it's smooth,
No hangovers too!
Living the wild, rugged life with O'Doul's.

The Wild, Rugged Life

Josh Ritter posted the lyrics and chords on Instagram of a song that is yet to be released and asked his fans to share what they thought it might sound like. This is my attempt at playing a Josh Ritter song that no one has ever heard before.

Josh Ritter - I Still Love You (blind cover)

I woke up today to grey skies and rain. I went to the other room and picked up my guitar and Kathy's Song by Paul Simon immediately came out and so I decided to record it. I'm playing this one purely from memory.

Kathy's Song (Paul Simon Cover)

Written and recorded as per the challenge of songwriter Ron Freeman to utilize the melody from "The Great Speckled Bird" to make our own song. Written and recorded, 9/16/2020. Lyrics below:

these days it's so hard to tell the difference
whether i am living or i'm dying
these days you won't know it from this distance
whether i am laughing or i'm crying

as time fades by this world gets more confusing
with every thought that's leaking from our mouths
it's like everyone is speaking their own language
we're all locked up and can't talk our way out

these days it's so hard to tell the difference
whether i am living or i'm dying
these days you won't know it from this distance
whether i am laughing or i'm crying

i've been lucky to find my work where i can get it
since our little castles washed out in the tide
we're doing everything to make it through december
so i've started reading fortunes on the side

these days it's so hard to tell the difference
whether i am living or i'm dying
these days you won't know it from this distance
whether i am laughing or i'm crying

i swear i'm doing my best to be as careful
as i can, with all my demons at the door
and i woke up with a cough on sunday morning
just one more little thing i can't ignore

these days it's so hard to tell the difference
whether i am living or i'm dying
these days you won't know it from this distance
whether i am laughing or i'm crying
