This cd is made of songs that I had written both recently and also from years ago when I first started playing back in the 70's. These older songs somehow never got recorded. They are here along with new songs to make their musical debut.
New songs include;
"Damned If I don't" - A song about a person who can only think about themselves and takes people for granted.
"Don't Think" - A song about our society and how people just aren't connected in what's going on around them.
"No Tatoos No Piercings" - A song about how sometimes I feel like the only one without a tatoo or piercing.
Older songs include;
"Answerman" - A song about searching for truth and always going back where we came from.
"Dreamchaser" - A song I wrote while I worked building submarines and feeling pretty insignificant.
"Roll out of Dreamland" - A song about how the freedoms we have can be lost if we don't pay attention.
"The Rainbow" - A song written to celebrate my daughters faith in making things happen no matter what.
"Tipping Ain't no City Down In China - A song about playing for nonexisting tips.
"You" - A song I wrote for my wonderful son's wedding.
"The Lady" - A song about a lover who leaves just when you need them the most and our journey through time.
This cd was recorded, arranged and mixed about 10 years ago during and after the sudden and tragic death of my brother and best friend Joe. Joe was with me through childhood and adulthood while I struggled to find my musical identity. He was a great comfort to me and he will always be a part of me and my music. In my mind I still see Joe in the crowd cheering me on. His favorite song was "The Rainbow". This cd is dedicated to my biggest fan and the best friend and brother anyone could ever hope for, love you Joe.
