Live at the Walnut House (Studio) in Murfreesboro, TN a few weeks ago.

I wrote "Color" after my return from India in 2007. Late in the trip we visited an 'orphanage' in Aizawl, Mizoram. I use 'orphanage' loosely, as it was more of a compound, at the end of a 4 wheel only track into the jungle, with more adults than children. I can't say for certain what went on there, but I felt for certain what went on there.

"All you know is a violent touch, a demon's lie that locks you up, you've come to think of love as the arms that harm you."

I setup to record myself playing a new tune called Pretend... mostly to test my new vintage RCA ribbon microphone!

This song is about digging to the bottom of who you are.

Four Letter Word is about being in a love hate relationship... where you want so bad to say two completely opposite things at the same time.

"See I wonder, why I'm missing, what I haven't seen in weeks. And if seeing is believing, I believe I've just seen. Your eyes like the sunrise, awaken what sleeps, I'd define in one line, if it wouldn't feel cheap"

Thought I'd post a video from Cafe 138 in Nashville, TN. Split show with Misty Rae and Anavox circa 2007.

This song is about God consistantly trying to get us to just pick up the phone... and us constantly looking around for something else.

About the Artist

You can never be beside yourself: Leonardo da Vinci wrote "The painter must be solitary. . . . For if you are alone you are completely yourself, but if you are accompanied by a single companion you are half yourself." I may not use brush or oil to relay my thoughts and feelings, but I am a painter by means of words. I write in solitude, away from life. It gives me the ability to put myself completely inside what I’m creating. I can escape the world.
