Just Another Try Just Another Try
Yet another song about past love and regret, and moving on. Just Another Try.
When The Truth Comes When The Truth Comes
As more lies and confusion come from politicians, bringing things to another head, we desperately wait for When The Truth Comes.
Brothers Brothers
Dedicated to my one and only brother Elliot. Version 2 - Revised: remixed/remastered.
(I CONFESS TO THIS) UNEXPECTED HAPPINESS (I CONFESS TO THIS) UNEXPECTED HAPPINESS
Sometimes we can live our lives with long extended periods of sadness and depression, that seems like theyll never end. But once in a while, during these bouts of depression, we might get brief moments of Unexpected Happiness. I confess to this.
Mile After Mile Mile After Mile
A song about old friends and ex-girlfriends, and finding memories on the open road.
What She Said What She Said
Another funky song with that classic rock sound and feel. Not to be confused with The Smith's song of the same name. And it seems I had "What'd I Say" in my subconscious in writing the chorus, fortunately it's only a glancing similarity.
When A Friend Becomes A Stranger When A Friend Becomes A Stranger
About the end of my longest friendship caused by our opposing views of Trump [Revised version - 10/16/2019]
Fully Smooth and Blue Fully Smooth and Blue
A musical remembrance of the Summer of Love and an attempt to keep that feeling alive.

Never Far Away Never Far Away
Further experimenting with layered, high-harmonies, ala' CSN and Poco. (See "story behind the song" for more info)
Everythings Gonna Be Alright Everythings Gonna Be Alright
First love song I wrote for my wife.
I'm So Down I'm So Down
The title says it all. While the lyrics say "sad", the music says...well, "It's not so bad". A friend described the sound as a cross between Leonard Cohen and the Fugs, with a bit of mid-70s Dylan thrown in. See "Story Behind The Song" for more.
First Song After First Song After
Dedicated to my loving, strong and beautiful daughter Christy. In memory of her mother (my wife) and her husband (my son-in-law), both taken from us way too soon and much too close together.
Where I Am Where I Am
Some old New Wave from 1988, from when I was a one man band called 1414. Released today on 12/2/2012. Numerological and emotionally significant.
