Mental Jukebox

You know how you sometimes get a song stuck in your head (“earworm”) for a day or so? Eventually they go away or get replaced by another. Except… For the last couple of months I’ve had three songs on shuffle in my head. That in itself is not out of the ordinary, but these particularContinue reading “Mental Jukebox”

It’s About Sex? Bay-bee!

A few years back I was sitting at a traffic light grooving to Foghat’s song, “Slow Ride” on the radio. And then, suddenly, as if it was my first time hearing it, I said, probably, aloud, “Holy wow, it’s about sex!” Of course I prefer hidden metaphorical references rather than something that needs to beContinue reading “It’s About Sex? Bay-bee!”

Black Velvet

If you please: I have a strange relationship with this song. A few years ago, after visiting my mother in the nursing home, I’d go for a walk on a nearby walking path. For entertainment, I found an app called “Zombies Run.” The object was to spur the listener on to run (or walk, IContinue reading “Black Velvet”

There’s nothing that could be added or subtracted to improve it. Sometimes, that response will change over time. A song starts playing on the radio, or onContinue reading “The Perfect Song”

When You Wish For The Apocalpyse

I have a friend who, if he perhaps did not truly believe the Mayan Calendar predicted the end of the world in 2012, kind of hoped the world would end. And so I wrote this song, “The Ballad of the 2012 Believer.” Video to follow. Ballad of the 2012 Believer(SLOW)No man knows the day, andContinue reading “When You Wish For The Apocalpyse”

The Poetry Page

I’ve just added the poetry page to the site. So much of my time has been spent writing poems and songs, I’m a little amazed I only have three volumes out there! Of course, several of them can be found as performance pieces on my youtube channel (often with Prof. SteveO as the performer—I’ve onlyContinue reading “The Poetry Page”
