Singer Songwriter, Acoustic acid jazz kind of thing.
I write songs. I record them. I play them for the dog(s). In a druken fit of ego, I convinced a guy to convince some guys to record them with me. Here they are. Please throw money - I'll do anything for $605/hr. Oh, and the best way to explore them and download them is to click the "music" hyper;link on the left hand side of this page. If I could control it, that would be flashing 24 point purple.

Story behind the song
This song describes my decision to go to law school rather than pusue a career in music. Really.
Lyrics
I came here a boy Now they say I’m a man And they say go where you’re going But I don’t know Where I am The calm before the storm Is like the state of my mind Broken webs on the blowing wind Are like the threads of time You take the high road -- I’ll just stay here and sit; Play my guitar; Sing for a bit. And when you reach your destination, Won’t you light a fire for me? Someday we’ll meet again. Just you wait and see. Met an old man playing dice He said “Son, I’ve got something to say. Don’t play the game to win. Just (uh) play the game (oh) to play. Take you’re pleasure from the falling bones. Don’t try the numbers to choose Because if you don’t try to guess and win You damn sure won’t guess and lose.” You take the high road -- I’ll just stay here and sit; Play my guitar; Sing for a bit. And when you reach your destination, Won’t you light a fire for me? Someday we’ll meet again. Just you wait and see. You took the high road It’s been a thousand years And I’ve just sat here A victim of all of my fears No one is left to comfort me To wash away the pain So I sing this song when the sun goes down And when the sun comes up I’m going to sing it again.
