   About swafo
let's see...i listen well. paying attention is important. my hands stay very warm. i am phobic of needles but receive accupuncture sessions regularly. i am patient. i still blush.

i write songs to help me make sense of and/or establish correlations between strange and arcane patterns of life. beauty and order take care of themselves, but the weird and ironic sometimes take awhile to accept and/or let go.

my to do list: complete the album begun last year, play some venues and meet lots of people...oh, and finish remodelling the kitchen!

listen to the tunes. enjoy. if they touch you, let me know what you think/feel. just remember...everything here is a work in progress, at this point. if you don't have a myspace account (WHAT!?!?!?!?) write me at swafo@swafosongs.com. be specific in your subject line - stand out from spam. looking forward to hearing from you.

peace,

swafo

Jeffrey Bayless, T@L Records and CASA (respected national child advocate organization) are teaming up to help abused and neglected kids!

All it takes is the download of a brilliantly poignant new single and an open heart...

Congratulations on surviving the DIY project. Thank you for your kind comment.

I've been uninspired to work on cover songs, and my songwriting gear is stuck.

Fortunately the haam cd release party, and your comments rained a little inspiration on me.
