STANDBY

Being an EMT is a hard job. Long hours, back breaking work, sad situations and speeding around to get to the ER. But there are times (standby) when you can chill out and let go of the stress by sitting in back of the ambulance looking like a ninny or drawing silly faces on our surgical gloves.

Happy Face

She drew this for me. She said " Its a happy face Daddy". I thought I knew love before her. I was mistaken.

The Brotherhood of the Jug Band Blues

Browsing through youtube I found this awesome video of The Bro Jug Blues CD release party. What an awesome song!

These guys are such great musicians and such great friends. It makes me feel great and nostalgic at the same time. What has happened to my life? I'm now so busy with unimportant things. I haven't seen or played with these guys in ages. Maybe this year, things will change.

Banjo and the Kids

Beautiful people making honest, heartwarming music: now that's my idea of a perfect world.

Break Free

break free they say

the fire will help you make them scared

it's a mighty fire,

unlike the one at the campfire last fall.

the stone cell that surrounds your holy ghost power will fall

it will crumble down and you will see them:

standing, fighting and grabbing at each others necks

tonight they bring you peace

but tomorrow they bring you turmoil

break free they shout only if you dare

you're like a puppy being scratched behind the ears

try

just try to break free

Poem inspired by G. Acosta's artwork. A gift from my good friend Eli.

She Greets Me With Monsters

She greets me with monsters

but they don't scare me

In fact they make me feel like I'm 8

instead of 96

If I could only live with them

They seem so happy and perfectly in place

Grape juice is their beverage of choice

Nothing else but grape juice

Spur of the moment poem inspired by my good friend Teresa Fahlbusch's monsters.

HEAVY HORSE

Here's a song I recorded a long time ago based on a bizarre dream I had. I wish I had some video or animation for this one. I think the lyrics could really inspire some interesting visuals. I hope to have the time and inspiration to work on something. You can listen to the song here on my page and download from this link.
