Schutz, my high school gym teacher, Fran Harelick, who taught me about integrity and courage in the face of bigotry (she also had a cool GTO!).
there is so much to learn.
grateful to you, dear reader, for being right here now.

A poet is someone
Who can pour Light into a spoon,
Then raise it
To nourish
Your beautiful parched, holy mouth.....

Future recordings will be on my new label Authentically Cheap (TM) Records. They will have a spontaneous, live, imperfect (whatever that means), organic, under-produced, quickness to them.
Let me quote Peter Gabriel here:
"I’ve got a friend, an Italian designer called Gaetano Pesci, and he said something which I relate to: that beauty in the future will rely on imperfection. Because in the world where everything can be copied a million times over perfectly, it is the humanity in the imperfections that suddenly become more interesting and more unique. The great thing about a live performance is that people screw up from time to time, and you know the difference between a good night and a bad night, and you can feel when stuff is working and when it isn’t. So I do think the digital world has made live more special."
