SANTA FE EXPRESS  (July 2020)
Right in the middle of a wonderful solitary road trip heading out to the great South-West, I wrote a tune which I decided to title “Santa Fe Express”.  Even though it was about 3 years before I actually had the opportunity to finish this track in 2020, I still remember the moment this musical idea came about  (May, 2017) while noodling around with some motifs on my travel guitar.  After a long 10-hour day of highway driving, I was finally settled into my hotel room in the town of Springfield, Missouri.  At this point I knew my final destination, Santa Fe, New Mexico, was only a couple days away. Even though I was a bit exhausted, I was also very much excited about the discoveries and fun that I knew would come my way in the next couple weeks. I was anticipating how I was going to be reuniting with my wife, and other family members and friends, in which we all would be exploring the beautiful area surrounding Santa Fe.  I guess that emotional energy inspired me at that moment. 

When I compose music, I often like to paint a picture that represents an experience in life. “Santa Fe Express” is, in my opinion, a good representation of that experience as I embarked on that exciting four day journey from Philadelphia, PA to Santa Fe, NM. 

For those musicians out there that might appreciate details about this track… I think one of the coolest things about this composition is a curious shift from a minor mode to a major mode that takes place halfway through the tune.  Even though the underlying motif (or the suggestions of the motif) exists almost throughout the entire track, the first half is based in minor (which for me represents the first couple days on the road that had it’s moments of trepidation). After the obvious bridge (symbolizing my recognition of progress), the track propels forward with a more uplifting major feel (which for me represents the joy coming from the anticipation of all the cool things that I have yet to experience down the road).

Along with the many awesome discoveries that followed after arriving to my ultimate destination, I found out there is in fact a train named Santa Fe Express (a.k.a. Rail Runner), that has daily runs back and forth to Albuquerque, NM. Just coincidence… but somehow a confirmation that this tune was meant to be.

For various reasons it took a few years to finally have the time to complete this project.
Better late than never!
I hope you all dig and enjoy my latest track!

Against All Reason

oh, here we go again
I'm dreaming of another time
a time I never lived in
remember when
when music sounded so  good
without no way to sell it at all
you couldn't sell it at all

now I know, I know, I know
that never really ever happened
there's always been some kind of play
you've always had to go and pay
but I think I would give myself away
If nothing ever lasted

no I don't want to go away
before I get somewhere
no I don't want to go away
before I get somewhere
What if nothin' ever Lasted?

Keep Looking Out For Each Other - Annie Smart / Boon Suzuki / Jamie Rhind

I'm not average in the way I write
I'm not average in my thought
I'm not average in achievements
Though I'm pretty much self taught
Do I sense a bit of jealousy
When others don't have nought
I am not average

I'm not average with rhyming couplets
I'm not average in what I know
I'm not average in my singing voice
And I'm not average down below
Something's swelling more than my head
Which still continues to grow
I am not average

I'm not average as a person
I'm the second coming of Christ
And thinking how I look
I'm not average in my eyes
And I certainly wouldn't be average
If I was betwixt your thighs
I am not average

I'm not average

I'm less than average with muscles
I'd lose each and every fight
I'm less than average at talking
And I have diminishing sight
I'm trying hard not to admit it
But alas I think I might be less than average

I'm average in my lifestyle
And the way I style my hair
And if you did pass by me
It would be like I wasn't there
I need some reassurance
But you probably don't care that I am average

I am average
And I don't want to be average!!

I'm not average at boasting
I can cook the tastiest meal
And if you had my lips upon you
You'd sure like how I feel
But I have a pulsating paranoia
And its making me all ill
I don't want to be average

I don't want to be average!!!

Show me the way
