Sounds LikeA little of this, a little of that... Rock, Country, Folk, etc. etc. My songs tend to be different from each other -- what holds them together as a body of work is that they're all me.

I've been doing a lot of home recording lately and that stuff is as all over the map as I can make it. Lots of avant garde stuff, some rock, some folk, some country.

Well - the perfect 2 nights for Luke and Bearkat, back to back: Cambridge was gig-wasteland hell, nearly
Geno'sesque. But last night here in Damariscotta all was made good again: these 2 are really great: good room, and I got to set up and run sound... truly nostalgic. Let's cook and pick some shrimp soon.
