Introducing the greatest talent ever to emerge from the orange bedroom at my parents house. I play guitar like.... well, like a guy playing guitar. I tickle ivories. I twiddle on the computer. I sometimes enjoy beans on toast for breakfast. And in the cracks between the eating, sleeping, laughing, crying, working, breathing experience that is my life there sometimes slips out songs like these.

Story behind the song
'Ruth' was originally written and performed for a Creative Arts camp I was leading at Bluestone Camp in West Virginia in 2003. On May 21 2006 the youth group at Beckley Presbyterian Church, WV, did their own version of the play.
Lyrics
The Shoe Dance In some lands you would sign a covenant In other places it takes an act of government Some places throw salt over their shoulder Here it takes a shoe to bring foreclosure. Chorus In this land its what you have to do You take off your shoe Then its through In this land its what you have to do You take off your shoe Then it is through Lets say you were after alimony Or in this case proposing matrimony In order to seal your act of pairing You take off the shoes you are wearing Chorus When it comes to property Or matters of inheritance Declaring a state of bankruptcy Or of making recompense Theres no signature needing a witness Here, you take off your shoe to seal your business Chorus When it comes to matters of reputation Or even those pertaining to sanitation Theres no need for lengthy dissertation Shoe removal makes it happen in this nation Chorus
