It Don't Matter Who's First In Line
My golly, it's been years since I posted here! Shame on me. I miss the MeMu community. I recently released an album of kids' music, and thought I'd share a tune here. It's a classroom song about that age-old problem: cutting in line. [more inside]
Manhattan Skyline
Some recent discussion on MeFi about the band a-ha reminded me that I'd recorded this acoustic cover of one of their songs a long time ago. This is actually based on an arrangement by Kings of Convenience, who made some interesting changes to the original song structure. Me on vocals and guitars (nylon-string and steel-string).

When the Curtains of Night
I'm happy to present my collaboration with not_on_display: this is our version of a neat little tune that was included in The American Songbag (a 1927 folk song collection by Carl Sandburg); the song there was itself derived from a late 19th-century song by William S. Hays. [more inside]
The Leaving of Liverpool
I had a great time collaborating with billiebee on a cover of this traditional folk song/sea shanty. The goal was to record a simple arrangement that was different from the more lively covers out there -- to borrow billiebee's phrase, a gentler version. I'm hoping our rendition highlights the lovely melody of the song. [more inside]
track 4
I'm doing a song-a-week thing with someone I knew in school, and this is what I came up with. [more inside]
insecure
Made in the Multitrack app by harmonicdog. I'm sorry about the wonky levels and general noisiness; I'm still learning how it works.
unSane's Whistling Shoes
I stole the words from unSane and turned it into a song with off key whistling.
Steam Stove
This is a song from the batch I recorded when I recorded Cold Dip and It Could Always Be Early. It has an absolutely ludicrous number of tracks for a song that has nothing but guitars and harmony, and I feel the need to just release it and see how others react to it. [more inside]
If I Fell
A boy/girl take on the Hard Day's Night track. [more inside]
You & San Francisco -- Big Hair Mix feat. Major Dundee
At long last, the remix of Y&SF with new vocals and Major Dundee's guitar work incorporated. [more inside]
Summer's Calling
This is the second of two summersongs... this one is my attempt to shake off the summertime blues and write something genuinely hopeful, complete with a spoken intro and healthy helpings of cheese and bubblegum all round. [more inside]
Don't Fool Me
Full on vocal harmony twin electric 12-string assault, my attempt to collide the Monkees with the Byrds with a side of the Go-Betweens. [more inside]
Where you gonna get your good things now?
One of my favorite chord progressions ever. A demo from about 1995 for a notional solo album, and for once I sound like I'm actually worked up about something, which I was. [more inside]
Where you are
This is a quick little tune about a few people I'll never meet. [more inside]
Not So Kind
A very short little song wherein I take the harshly honest route toward an old friend. [more inside]
You're Not Alone
My contribution to the two-chord challenge. A sleepy little song with fingerpickin' guitar, piano, and some three part "harmony." I experiment a little more with my voice on this one. [more inside]
Silent Night
Silent Night with acoustic guitar, ukulele, and 4 part vocals. [more inside]
No Going Back
This is not the happiest song I've ever written. [more inside]
Hey (or how the band did its thing)
A woozy, detached song that builds. My first ever attempt at recording vocals. [more inside]
Stay Away
A short, pretty, desperate conversation about need and rejection. Plus arpeggios!
Feeling Down
I'm not angry . . . I'm just feeling down
