Barflies and Babies (EXPLICIT)

my girlfriend and i went to see Valerie June last weekend. I feel like i came away from that show the same way you might come home from A camping trip. A fireside all nighter. A night awake rolling around with some new found soul. A morning on the beach with the sun coming up. FIre flies...soft words...the earth moving slowly.

Have you ever seen such a beautiful night?

Jersey Girl - Tom Waits cover

yesterday was a long dark night

youre the one

Well Ive hiked the Rocky mountains
Swam in California streams

Spent weekends in NY city 
Nearly lost site of my dreams

After all ive been through
The love and misery

It feels like Pennyslvania 
Is the place for me

I ran the northeast highways
All the way up to Maine
I ve tasted the deserts of Arizona
Tequila in my veins

Stars twisting 
In colors I couldn’t believe

Along the Susquehanna
Hills holding trees
my heart became 
The color of the leaves



After all I ve been through
all this love and misery
It feels like Pennsylvania 
Is the place for me

Tombstone on the hill reminding
Me of time
Pathways through the woods
Wind and intertwine

Every step ive taken has brought
You to  my side
In the half morning darkness
Dreams give way to light

After all I ve been through
With you lying next to me

It feels like Pennsylvania 
Is the place for me

PA is the place

City LIke a Broken SOng

Banjo running through the woods

Isn’t the city on fire so pretty
As it chokes the sky with smoke
I should have known your apologies
would turn  into a joke

vampires vaping on the Hollywood sign
collective conscience  , all of one mind
while the lives in the cities below
slowly unwind

oh baby where are you now?
Oh honey .Where , are you now?



















 our angel wings have been broken
We are bound to the cold hard ground

And you some how broke me open
And I couldn’t make a sound

I looked for you everywhere
Just cant find your face

Im like a star disintegrating
In the loneliness of space 

Oh baby, where are you now?
Oh honey, where are you now?

52week club- Mikkie's Lost Tavern

This year has been a crazy ride for sure. 

Brian Kest is an amazing teacher that helped me through some of the roughest times in my life.
 My girlfriend Suzanne  has been watching his classes for more than 20 years and introduced me just this year to his classes:  they are so approachable and without pretense. 
He teaches with wisdom, and  humor. His wife Melissa creates good vibes. I feel like it has helped me regain myself. 
This song is a collection of things ive picked up from him over the last year... It is basically his words put to music.  Suzanne helped me pick and choose. Like a yoga buffet.
