Acoustical parody of twittering magpies. I like to imagine Nick Drake drinking with Blind Blake, when I'm drunk.

Once upon a time I started out to write a happy song. I was born in Michigan, raised in Arizona, and live in Portland, Oregon. I'm sometimes inspired, awed, destitute. This music is grounded in traditional American music and troubadours from various walks of life. This set of songs was recorded at Tiny Telephone in San Francisco. Scott Solter was the engineer. I blew the harp, played the guitar, did the vocals, and bumbled a little on the organ. The songs were recorded in Dec of 2007 and February of 2008.
Friday nights can get a little wild.
Love. Sweat. Beauty. Amen.
Two Voices in a Meadow
A Milkweed
Anonymous as cherubs
Over the crib of God,
White seeds are floating
Out of my burst pod.
What power had I
Before I learned to yield?
Shatter me, great wind:
I shall possess the field.
A Stone
As casual as cow-dung
Under the crib of God,
I lie where chance would have me,
Up to the ears in sod.
Why should I move? To move
Befits a light desire.
The sill of heaven would founder,
Did such as I aspire.
Richard Wilbur
