The songs on this album are all acapella, featuring the human voice as the only instrument, either solo or in harmony with other voices. The primary vocalist is myself though I am grateful for Daryl Snider who sings on Change. These songs were recorded at various venues and span thirty years of vocal work. Most are original compositions though some are renditions of traditional and more current songs. Thanks for listening! KMLS 2/2024

Hands Of God Medley

I got an old Decca guitar, was able to get it in tune, wrote this song on it and with it, then turned it into a wall art piece!

This machine shall not break you, shall not take you, shall not keep you from being free....

This Machine (Shall Not Break You)

Eveline, where are you walking to? 
You're going to get caught out in the rain.
Eveline, who are you talking to? 
Could it be someone in your brain?

Tomorrow
August 1997

In the sugar cane they laid us down like a harvest,
guns and fear the scythes.
Tranquilo, baby, tranquilo.
Watch the shooting stars in the bandido’s eyes.

Tomorrow we will not lie in a field where the stars fall from the sky.
Tomorrow these men will give their lives to a love so strong it never dies.

In a road of grass a row of flesh, precious lives,
faces pressed to the earth side by side.
Misacordia, baby, misacordia.
Listen to the wind in the cane not the pain and fear inside.

Tomorrow we will not lie in a field where the stars fall from the sky.
Tomorrow these men will give their lives to a love so strong it never dies.
