well, it has been a long and winding road, and an even longer time coming, but my debut CD, I Remember, is FINALLY HERE!!! YAY!!!!!
to celebrate, American HeartBeat Records(tm) has arranged a FREE DOWNLOAD of Now Is The Time in exchange for a valid email address. Now Is The Time is a brand new, upbeat song I wrote: we are living in turbulent times. suddenly it is okay to be greedy and heartless? no way! a song of hope for our future, a new vision of America and the world.
we have a bunch of exciting things planned to kick this whole thing off, and we need to get a better picture of who our friends are, so the FREE DOWNLOAD form will ask you a few questions, like, what is your country and nearest major city. it all takes maybe 15 seconds.

Torre de hueso Tenso arco rojo Can’on de spiritu Dinamo de musculos Con mano amplia Hace brecha Y con la otra enciende la mecha aveces duerme y el suen’o no llega aveces la vida se vuelve mazorca, se hace espiga, y como la hormiga, se une a la tierra.
Hombre, martillo de carne Con mano de lodo Y acero de sangre Hombre, bestia encerrada, En burbuja de concreto, Acicalada Donde decreta, contrulle, Labora y destruye A tinta y maza Con comedia y farsa Y feugo voraz , se expande como deplegara alas Un ave rapaz.
Hombre, infante Confuso, confundido, Delirante. Retrocede, Avanza, retrocede Y cuando quiere, alcanza portento. Honbre, bestia del caos, Que se extirpa a si mismo, tranforma la roca en espejismo y navega en un mar de confusion.
Hombre, trozo de barro fragil e irresuelto que hace de la vida su tormento y a menudo hace suen’o de la vida. Hombre, nin’o pequen’o Que cuando le asusta la existencia En la boca del lobo esconde Su indecencia y le hace el amor A la muerte. Hombre, indefinido esclavo Del presente Que arrastrando invisibles Cadenas del pasado, Con falaz intento camina buscando el horizonte.
Hombre saco de polvo De eco del cosmos Hombre, dios en semilla Luz amarilla del sol.
