Burying Stories

Bring Me A Monkey is a song, the first song, I wrote immediately following the death of my brother Michael. Tomorrow, December 22 would have been his 45th birthday and man oh man, I'm really feeling it. The lyric is from a poem by the same name that our Mother found while we were going through his belongings. This was recorded live in the studio with myself on bass, Troy Swanson on organ, and Milky Burgess playing guitar and singing. It is still very difficult for me to listen to this song... I've made it available for downloads but I do ask one thing. If you choose to download it would you please make a donation to Hull House? This is a charity Michael felt very strongly about supporting. *Please note: It's come to my attention that Hull House, a charitable organization for 120 years will be shutting it's doors Feb. 1, 2012... in it's stead I ask you make a donation to a local Seattle charity called Ryther Child Center: http://www.ryther.org/donate/         
Thank you.
