Bio
.."Eclipse".. This song was on my first record, ..Folding Stars.. in a different version. I still play it at solo shows all these years later, and a few years ago I recorded a bunch of acoustic tracks with my friends Andy Hollander and Bob Smith in NYC, and spontaneously came up with this reinvention of the song. Andy plays the amazingly spooky piano..... .."Morning Glories" (acoustic version).. - In an effort to post some more unreleased stuff, I’ve added this version of "Morning Glories" - it was recorded in NYC with Byron Isaacs and Lee Feldman as part of a record I made called "Ballads and Breakdowns." Even though I really like the album, it has yet to see the light of day. But here’s a little taste of it..... .."Don’t Believe It" (demo version).. - A new one recorded the day after I wrote it. Brandau’s drumming and playing Rhodes bass..... Born in Florida, schooled in the Frozen North, lived in China, paid dues in NYC, now living and working in Chapel Hill, NC. Co-founded International Orange (with Robert Sledge, Snuzz, and Jason Fagg), and now leads the cinematic rock juggernaut known as ..The Old Ceremony.. ....(....www.theoldceremony.com...., ........myspace.com/theoldceremony..)... .... ..The Old Ceremony’s debut CD (featuring 12 Django originals) is available at ..theoldceremony.com.. as well as iTunes, CDbaby, etc...TOC’s followup album, "Our One Mistake," is also now available on sonaBLAST records. You can ..order the cds here.., or get it on iTunes....... PAPERS IN ORDER VIDEO:.. .. .. .. .. .. -

There once was a songster named Haskins,
His music was ours for the askin'.
He'd croon us a tune, ...Made our hearts swoon,
And now in the spotlight he's baskin'.
He delights us between songs with banter;
Charm pours from his finest decanter.
We drink up his charm, ...That leaves our hearts warm,
We're tipsy; he's quite the enchanter!
Boy "Django" his parents did name him,
Book smarts and music became him.
Creativity soars, ....The crowds, how they roar,
To hear TOC songs; who can blame them?!
So play what you will for Asheville,
Then hurry on back to the Hill...
(We send birthday wishes, ...Feed your ego --ummm, delicious!)
To pen songs with keen wit and skill.
Django celebrates his birthday today,
Congrats, viafacebookmyspace communiqué!
Your Fall tour is done, ....Your fans ALL had fun;
Forever in our hearts you'll stay.
[Lame, I know. It's the thought that counts.
