Traction (song of the day)

We all need a little traction every now and then don’t we?    This super jam catches a moment in time in my fabled Athens days with Parakeet Nelson / Phallic Phungus.   An nine piece band live in the studio totally locked in with me barely playing guitar because of a broken wrist.   … Continue reading »

Ricky Rubio Song

I saw an article from Spain where they talk about this song ( and even translate it ).  I recorded it on November 14th for this blog last year and have gotten an outpouring of support from Spanish basketball fans.   I’m a big Rubio fan, but I also like Gasol, Navarro and a few … Continue reading »

Make Your Mama Proud. December 13th

It’s snowing and the winds are gusting with gusto out there today.  A great time to post a reggae song.  Maybe that will warm things up psychologically for a minute.  A strong thermal/psychological endurance would most definitely make your mama proud.

July 2nd “Skankin’ Ain’t Easy”

More and more I listen to early Bob Marley (before the British producers) and I also listen to Toots and the Maytals.    That’s good stuff.   In no way does that give me a reggae pedigree.   I’ve listened to it for 20 years but I know you’ve got to live it to really … Continue reading »

June 27th “Mind Vacation”

Day two of my two day vacation.  It’s not so sweet knowing you’ve got to go home soon.  But then again I have a lot of obligations, so it’s also bitter sweet (ie recording a song for everyday in 2010).  Being creative, I tried to be totally in the moment, which was beach house vacation-style … Continue reading »

May 5 “Frog Dreams”

It’s starting to get hot now.   In the eighties.  The recycling boat is starting to steam.  It’s funny how many blogs I’ve done this year mention the weather.   I guess that’s the common factor between me and every reader wherever they are.   I probably also subconsciously want to look back at these … Continue reading »

April 18th “The Life of a Fisherman”

Our new friend Kathy got us thinking about the lives and culture that goes into making a glass of wine.  All the history that goes into each glass is astounding.   For some reason I started thinking about that this morning and applied it to a fisherman at sea.   Probably because I have  copy … Continue reading »

March 30 “Bad Reputation”

I was a crazy youth.   I did lots of super insane things but luckily I never got a legitimate bad reputation.  I always managed to stay out of trouble and or getting caught. This song’s about a reputation preceding a new romance.    ”Now you know my secret, I’m a bad bad man, but … Continue reading »

March 24 “The Winds will Change”

“The more things change the more they stay the same”, they say.    I don’t know if I agree with that exactly, I’ve changed a lot in my lifetime and even in the past month.   Hopefully I’m changing into someone who makes a lot of birdie putts. Aside from material stuff like that, I … Continue reading »

Feb 25 “Sorry for Wearing Plaid”

As usual, after my work week recycling out town and staying away from home a few nights I’m catching up with my songs. I surprised Adair with a pizza and salad from the grocery store tonight and guess what, that inspired this song. I’d been watching the PGA tournament and the new kid Rickie Fowler … Continue reading »
