The Bullies Are Back

Terlingua

Permenant Holiday

Imagine, if you will, that instead of keeping socks in your sock drawer or underwear in your underwear draw...you're keeping each and every little hurt or letdown committed unto you by your significant other. Tokens of THEIR cruelty for you to wallow in from time to time. Like a walk through the park or collecting stamps...

Tokens Of Your Cruelty

Andalucia In The Spring

Two Years

Crocodiles

I was on a beach with a beautiful girl who wanted nothing to do with me. I was having a very pleasant nap until the girl woke me with blood curdling screams as two lizards came scrambling out of her flowing brown hair. Fuck you Jimmy Buffett. You're not the only only who can write  a song in Mexico.

Prisoner

Born in Alton, Illinois. eldest child of Fayez and Karen. Mom was an art major, dad an accountant. Opposites attract and then raise dysfunctional children. Brother Faris was born just 18 months after me. He played music too. In 1970 our family moved to El Paso. I was just 3. Our names were strange and to the general amusement of other kids I wore big glasses. They made fun of me a lot. I know - boohoo...when I was 9 I saw the Beatles White album in K-Mart. I got my grandmother to buy it for me. It changed my life. When I was 16 I started writing songs. Brother Faris was the only one who believed they were worth a crap. Faris started playing drums. I played guitar. F sold his car for a drum kit then moved to guitar. I moved to bass. Then we both moved to Denton. We hated living in Denton. It was boring and the other bands all had bongo players. We made our self-titled debut in 1999 on an 8-track recorder then quit playing music together. Faris released several solo cds and then quit playing music altogether. I've had 6 full-length solo cds come out since 2004: Polaroid (2004); Beautiful Noise (2005); Snowing In My Heart (2007); Constellation (2009); Hit Parade (2012); Skeleton Closet (2015) plus the A Way To Your Heart E.P. (2004), Live at Pleasantry Lane (2007) Ciphers From Snowing (2008) and the Friends For Life E.P. (2012).
