August 2001 saw the beginning of this album-Five Score, the "100 Song Album." I started with a notebook of two and a half pages of song titles, and as I wrote and recorded the songs I checked them off in the notebook. My original vision was to have a three CD set of 100 maximum length 2:48 second songs. This has changed, however, and it is a 4 CD set with 25 songs on each disc. I have opted to include a few previoulsy recorded, but at the time homeless songs on the 100 song CD. Those songs are: 1. We Can Linger 2. God is Shaking Up the World (Recorded in Galax) I recorded a few songs written in years past that had never seen the light of day, and recorded songs written in years past that have never been recorded. I also solicited my music-making friends for collaborations and contributions, and their efforts were fantastic. Prabir Mehta of the Rachel Nevadas stepped up to the plate with a song written for the CD, and he played guitar on 2 other songs. Lewis Harris from Pent-Up House and Bucket contributed a fantastic song that I sang over, Menaflower unwittingly contributed an outtake from their new CD, Monty Jones let me cover a song he had already recorded as The Ukulele Hipster Kings, Greg Garner from Music for Viola handed me an unfinished guitar and drum thing he had that I added words and keyboards to, Jenny Jussell sang with me on a few songs, Dave McCormack played guitar, bass, and dobro on a few, Tom McCormack sang one for me, Hunter Boxley played drums on one, Mike McCormack of the Waking Hours contributed a guitar progression I turned into a song, as well as a drum line I did the same thing to. This thing has kept me going over the past six months, and I hope everyone that gets one finds something they like on it.

Story behind the song
16. Unnamed Instrumental #1 9/4/01 6 PM-5 AM After completing Monty's song I sat at the drums for an hour and recorded six "drum tracks" off the top of my head-all but one the first take. I write songs like this sometimes-you just play a semi-structured drum beat and build up the tune from there. I got back to Macon Multimedia with the keyboard, bass, and guitar and went through the tracks instrument by instrument. I first made up bass parts to all six instrumentals, then I went back and added keyboards to each in the order they were recorded. Next I'll write lyrics to them and they'll be done. I might add guitar to a few of them too, and the trumpet could see the light of day. Hopefully I'll be able to do that tomorrow (9/6/01) as tonight (9/5/01) Meanflower is playing at Poe's and Friday and Saturday we're playing in North Carolina. Then these tunes will have names and stuff. I'm Talking to Your Heart-Thurs 9/6/01 6 PM-11 PM Well, I started on the untitled instrumentals and finished 'em a few hours later. I went through 'em and wrote words and sang 'em-then added sone guitar. Working on 6 songs at once is not something I recommend. I picked up the title of this one out of an old lyrics notebook which was handily sitting nearby the recording equipment. The title in the notebook was "I Want to Talk to Your Heart" with nothing underneath it lyric wise. This one became a song about getting mixed signals from someone-their mouth says one thing but their eyes say something different. Hence "I'm Talking to Your Heart." Believe it or not, I put thought into my songs.
