Hello Sharon -

Hope you're well up there in NYC. Just posted a demo of an unrecorded tune. Hope you like it.

Much Love - ab


is there any end to the vastness that i feel
or is it just a furnace built on a heart of steel
is there any sense in burning a man who’s done you wrong
when the only hope that’s given, lies in the days to come
the hour is at hand to make a little noise for your fellow man

the vagrants and the tramps are whispering in the night
if you never give up hope everything will turn out fine
or maybe fade away into a neon blinking dawn
syndicated but forgotten, like the truthes we used to hold
get on your feet and stand, make a little noise for your fellow man

is there any space between a sinner and a saint
or is it just a strand of the sun’s golden ray
is it any use in crying a lake of unseen tears
when the only motion needed, is just to cast away your fear
do what it is you can to make a little noise for your fellow man

somewhere beneath the excess you’ll find the working class
clinging to what’s left of a dream they thought would last
now the only trace that’s left is shimmering in the night
bought and sold everyday at fraction of the price
if what you see demands, make a little noise for your fellowman

when you look into the face of a fool gone too far
don’t let the senselessness cloud the bleeding in your heart
when he speaks of virtue to mask his cruelty
gather in the twilight, where the spirit is still free
strike up the band and make a little noise for your fellowman

Hi Sharon -

Heard about you through a friend in Asheville. Hope you're well up North. I should be back in the fall. Maybe I 'll be able to catch a show.
