   About the Strangers Almanac
For a copy of the new album, come to a gig, send me a message, or it'll be available on iTunes etc. soon, hopefully.

"It's hard to lose your way with no forks in the road,
but it's easy to lose your mind.
The devil kept his marbles here for one good reason,
He thought they'd be too hard to find.

Let me say hey, can you feel it now?
We all want to go walkabout."
