An ode to the loss of vinyl records (yes... i know you can still buy them... but it's not the ONLY way to get music as it was when I was a wee lad). But really it's just a thin metaphor allowing me to write another song about a girl. Yahoo…

I'm horrible at foreign languages. So I apologize to anyone who is actually trying to translate this. It came to me spontaneously. Here's my interpretation. It could mean "Saint Love"... which references a song I wrote in 2002... and yet this…

There are no lyrics here... I will not put politics into music. However... the man gives me a very demented case of the blues. Therefore I played music to sooth my poor, sad soul.

I was playing my mandolin and thought... this sounds like an Irish drinking song. So... that's more or less what it is.

Sometimes things are just clear.

This song is just about watching young women hold on to relationships that they know are doomed.

Last song written for the 2011 RPM challenge. It's about the decline of musical quality in the world... and perhaps in my own musical efforts. Lyrics: It’s becoming a world without heroes We're leading a life without dreams Our heartbeat…

quick little mandolin number to round out my album for the year!!

Track 9. I love when my inane babble turns into a useful lyric.

Ever have one of those days? Yeah... that's what this is about.

Track 7 is about a couple of friends who seem to continually make self-destructive decisions.

Track 6 is about a poor sod who has to stay at home while his lady is at a Pure Romance party... or something like that.

A billboard is no place for advertising some sort of spiritual message. I call it thieves in the temple if you ask me.

Track 4. Contains an uncredited sample of American Indian drumming. I'd love to credit it... if I knew who it was.

The first single off of Dragons & Lace my completed 2010 RPM Challenge album.

Track 2 for the 2010 RPM Challenge.

Track number 1 from the 2010 RPM Challenge. Title track.

Buy a mandolin... write some songs. Challenging one's self is a good thing.

2009 Record Production Month Challenge offering. Very pleased with the collective results. Epic folk song. That's my thought anyway.
