Wobblin' By. Seeing as how this is the third 4th of July song sitting here on the dusty shelf that my website has become, I think I probably need to be more diligent in recording and posting things. This one is pretty short and a touch melancholy, but I don't have the time today to do anything different.
When You're Smiling. A little old standard that I recorded with my friend Lianne Smith. Something special, I think.
Seven Four Shapes. Another fireworks song, written and recorded the morning of 7-4-05.
Morning of the Display. My annual 4th of July song, written and recorded the morning of 7-4-04. Inspired slightly, I think, by the Moondog that I was listening to yesterday.
Mini-series. A honky-tonk waltz and a reasonably true story.
12-21. Close your eyes and just pretend you're in Antarctica where the nights are long, the days are long, and every year we sing this song.
