Feiersinger: My Mother Said

This song was inspired by Kathleen Turner's portrayal of Matty Walker in the 1981 film, "Body Heat". "she walks into a room; things change"

Put My Finger On It

I’m feeling lazy like some old threadbare sock
I just don’t have it in me now to go out for a walk
Too many miles have come and gone and oh I am worn thin
I’m ain’t going out; I’m here on the couch; I’m Staying In 

There’s Cracks in the plaster, yea; Cracks in the Law
Some say that we’re courting Disaster and then some say we are the cause
If they call me to testify someone’s gonna catch it on the chin
Cause, I’m ain’t going out: I’m here on the couch’ I’m Staying In

Gandhi said there’s got to be more to life. 
Than merely moving faster
Oh, I believe that he sure yea he sure got that right
Just wish that maybe he could’ve expounded more on the answer

There’s riddles in the middle now of almost everything
Don’t know the source of half of what I eat or most of my clothing
Is it real polyester or is it just some cheap carcinogen
I’m ain’t going out; I’m here on the couch;  
I’m Staying In

I sure hope today ain’t the day 
that for free they say 
they gonna wash away all my sins
I’m ain’t going out; 
I’m here on the couch;  
I’m Staying In


Stayin' In

I’m calling from the interstate; 
A cross with flowers marks the place
A loved one taken suddenly; 
A token there in memory
Pass gas stations with old phone booths
Tho’ they are now so rarely used
Just shelter from a sudden rain 
With bubble gum and urine stains  

I’m calling after all this time 
I’m calling from the bottom line
This ain’t no fiber optic thing 
With every fiber of my being
I’ve yearned for you thru all these years 
I did not want to interfere
Thought it best not to intrude but now,

I am calling you, I am calling you
I am calling you, I am calling you

Positioned here behind my gate. 
I survey all that’s laid to waste
I calculate with a coin toss 
The dream against the double-cross
Referring now to the I Ching; 
Failure brings opportunity
But I’m not certain that it’s true and so

I am calling you, I am calling you
I am calling you, I am calling you

I changed my tactic; Changed my goal
But nothing seems to change at all
Thru forests frequented by loss
This aching like some permafrost

Against the wisdom of the wise
I call with anger; call with sighs
I call with hunger; sleep deprived 
I’m calling from the bottom line
I call with dreams that I can’t fake 
I call at times I lay awake
This always happens at daybreak; 
The gavel falls; the mountain shakes                                                 

I am calling you, I am calling you
I am calling you, I am calling you


I Am Calling You

Inspired by an anxious night at Fort Tilden—a beach outside of NYC.

If I Punch a Wall

Jeff Buckley

Now That You're Gone

Born To Love You

Leslie's banjo and Nick's throat singing/singing bowl combo will lead you to a deep meditative state. Or perhaps you'll just be intrigued by the unusual pairing of sounds.

Fire Reflections

Nick & Leslie bring the relaxation vibes with spacey electronic sounds paired with the acoustic song of singing bowl and flute.

Air Reflections

This is a live recording from around 1976 of my band TAXI.

TAXI - Yes Medley

I "write" songs that occur to me. That's about it. I've no idea where songs come from or why but ever since I can remember it seems songs come and go in my brain. Most of them leave so I can't get 'em down. The few that I can catch I try'n get down and share. Hope you enjoy.
