Episode 81-Household Miracles


 
Hello listeners. This weeks tune is all about people who are nasty and ineffectual because they've learned behaviours, or religious ideas by rote that are ruinous but to them feel empowering. I've heard tales of such folk in the past few days and hence this song. Hope you like it. Thanks for listening.

Episode 80-Rabbit Skin

 
 
Hello Listeners, this weeks tune is a bit of a wacky one I guess, just took the words as they came, nonsensically or otherwise, and ran with them. I guess it's about how life is a little nonsensical, and about finding a place, or talking about finding a place but never actually coming to any kind of conclusion. I'm not entirely sure, but it was super fun to write, play and even sing so hopefully there's a positive vibe under the wacky existential crisis stuff.
Thanks for listening, as always.

Episode 79-Saving Lives


 
Hello listeners. This weeks tune is about suicide prevention, in honour of Robin Williams, which I know could be taken as me being a band wagon type but I don't care, suicide is an important issue, I've been close to it, as have many many others, and it needs to be talked about. This tune I wrote to thank my good buddies who saw me at my worst and did what they could, and that was enough, it was beautiful. Way behind me now, but always remembered. If you can be somebodies life line then do it, no hesitation, life is crazy and sometimes horrifying, but it's important, it's essential, sacred and such. Thanks for you time and ears, and I hope this little tune gives you something positive.
 
Cheers.

Episode 78-Sparrows & Arrows

 
 
Hello listeners. Here's the 78th episode, a Mandolin/electric guitar tune that is abstract enough that I'm not even sure what it's about. It seems like a positive one, I just let it come out how it wanted to. It might be about giving up alcohol, that's in there I think, and maybe about eating breakfast.
As always, thanks for your ears and time. Much appreciated.
