I reworked this song in 2020. I added a little definition to it. This song was written when my oldest daughter left home for an internship in NYC. I tried to capture that feeling of loss and hope that I felt as she left the nest.

Your Place in the World

I was looking for a title so I Googled "unique words" and found "Ukyo". The short version o the definition is "living in the moment". Sounded good to me. I get mad at myself when I spend more time looking for a name than it took me to write and record the song.

Ukiyo

This title starts with an "A" word so it would be alphabetically at the top of my list for easy access as I worked on it.  Stuck with it when I finished.

Alpha 8

Appreciation Day

Alphanumeric Dog

I listened to the version I originally put on Soundcloud. Yikes! Too much cowbell (and off beat too). I calmed down the guitar break too(is there such a thing as a guitar break in instrumental music?). Less frantic now.

I always struggle with titles. My daughter happened to be visiting Cabazon, CA the day I finished this. Cabazon is home to the dinosaurs seen in Pee Wee's Big Adventure (one of her favorites).

Individual One

I sing silly songs to my cat in order to keep her calm while giving her medication. Being thankful for inspiration wherever I can find it,  I actually stumbled on something I could use one night. Here's the result.

Kiki's Song

Struggling to find a name for this one, I caught sight of a sign for "Lost Nation Road" outside of Cleveland. Sounded cool to me.

Lost Nation

"Noodles Jefferson" is featured on the menu at Guantanamo Bay detention camp. Sounded like a good song title too.

Some people live by the rule that words don't cost anything, so it's OK to use as many of them as you want, true or not, in anyway that's advantageous.

I recently put a couple new tunes up. To those who listen, I hope you enjoy them.
