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.

Daniel Johnston Please Keep Singing

I love this song! The video is great too.

A. Bogs Defeats the Grinch Once Again

Since for me, Christmas is not officially over till Three Kings Day, I decided to throw this one in. I just heard a couple of Christmas songs on my good friend A. Bogs myspace page and once again was enchanted with his knack for writing timeless Christmas songs. Not sure what magical ingredient he is mixing into these songs that brings out the holiday spirit, but it really works. I'm sure it is something he found in the attic of his new home in Rochester NY and is just not telling me. Well I promise all of you that when I visit, I will request to sleep in the attic and make sure I find this heavenly ingredient he is selfishly keeping to himself.

Go to Bogs Visionary Orchestra's myspace page and listen. Aside from the three Christmas songs, "This Christmas", "How are you It's Christmas", and my personal favorite " Children of the World" you will find his other treasures waiting for you to hit the play button. Enjoy!

Morning Song

Wrote this song a while back inspired by my daughter. I have decided that its not doing anyone any good if its just sitting in my vault of unfinished/unreleased songs. So today I'm learning to let go and to not be a Grinch. Enjoy! I hope.

The Forgotten Snowman

Almost forgot about this one. Dakota and I made a snowman last week. The snow had come down heavy on our Brooklyn streets the night before.

We could hardly sleep with excitement of making our snow man with winters first snow.

The Letter

Today I woke up in my own bed. I was able to sleep uninterrupted through the night. My pillow missed my head and my drool. I wake up with Joe Cocker spinning in my head.
