Robert Reich has written recently about "Common Good". More specifically, where has it gone? I thank Robert for the inspiration and his continued willingness to speak truth! Hope you enjoy this one.
Seems that each day I am reminded that I (and all of us) are inching toward the finish line. Grateful for the opportunity!
For years my wife, Lottie Tone, would always ask me the same question after I shared with her a new song I had written. "That song is about me, right?" She would ask. So....I wrote this song to finally answer her question!
Last year I ended up in the ER 5 different times with Idiopathic anaphylaxis. That is when you have life-threatening allergic reactions and nobody knows why. Anyway, happy to report I think we found the culprit and I am almost 6 months without an event. All good! Feeling great!! In the meantime, It was pretty scary. Inspired this tune.
Barbara Kingsolver wrote a novel titled Demon Copperhead. I'm not exactly sure why but I think the the character's struggles with booze and drugs helped inspire this one.
A couple of days ago a friend of mine told me that her mom had died. I did not know her mom yet I was struck by a deep sadness. I realized that since the beginning of year I had been pretty shut down emotionally. Felt like a good time to write this song.
Written by Sting. I heard the Johnny Cash version the other day and had to give it a try. I love this song.
Everybody needs a place like this... Sinkin ships with loose lips
Wrote this one in mid-2024 as life was once again changing and reminding me to be grateful for this moment...Hope you enjoy
