one of my first attempts at a slow heavy song that gets as blue as my white ass is capable of without (hopefully) insulting the musicians and people that are the blues

worthless

a jealous lover intent on killing his partner gets too drunk and ends up in a fatal car crash. It's chorus is intentionally reminiscent of a song I have always loved "since I've been loving you" written I believe by Willy Dixon

I Feel Like A Killer Tonight

another one influenced by the Willy Dixon song "since I've been lovin you".

I Almost Got The Blues

my daughter Paris spent m ost of her teens in the hospital, somewhere in the middle of it she asked me to write her a song that was just for her. This is it. I am quite proud of the amount of raw emotion I managed to cram into this one. Unfortunately, I can't play it without watering up myself.

I've got a princess who sings for me

so when my youngest daughter heard the song I wrote for her sister she wanted one too. She drew me the picture to illustrate what it should be about.

Mekare Is God (so Bow Down)

I have written a few autobiographical songs over the years. This is the latest.

Ball And Chain

I have some pretty strong (and possibly controversial) opinions about almost everything . I love a good debate. One thing I have no time for though is television. Frank Zappa had it right in the 70's


Enemy Of Democracy

I don't know what you would call this. just a bit of comedy I guess

I Am Really Really Really Angry (at everyone and everything)

Since 1980 I have been the principle songwriter, singer, and lead guitarist for the Canadian punk band the dayglo abortions. Weve made lots of albums and done shit loads of touring. We rock. bla bla bla Bug fucking wow. The dayglo's are still active but I am also working very hard on a new band called the hearts of stone. We play something that is at times similar to the blues or at least influenced by the blues. We can be both really mellow, and really heavy. I once saw an interview with an old blues guy and in it he said "jazz players rate themselves by how many notes they can cram into a given time, The blues players rate themselves by how slow they can play. There is a thing called "the Death Blues", that is where the music completely stops, tempo = 0. This is of course unobtainable but, what a beautifully heavy thing to explore.I'm not looking to be rated, I am what I am, with all my flaws and my little bits of skill. Probably not for everybody but that's ok cuz I write this shit for me and my little band. cheers
