It only took 27 years from the time I started it to finishing it this week! I’m pretty sure this is one of the ones I came up with while riding my bike the ten miles from Mesa College to my house when I lived in San Diego. The ** indicates the bit that has [...]
Sometimes, things come together without planning. My duo group, Taylor-Martin, my project with Jim Rust, has grown! With the addition of Jorge Apsey, we are now a trio, and Laurel Canyon is born! As the historical name implies, we are modeling our sound after the bands that came out of that area – CSNY, Byrd’s, [...]
It’s called “Insanity”. As I said, it was the first song I ever wrote. My song writing journey started when I was about thirteen. So, I’m 47 now. That means it took some 34 years to complete this song! Many if not most of the songs I’ve written over the years are incomplete. In the [...]
OK. Up front I admit I bagged the title of this post from the 1979 Genesis album of the same name. But this post has nothing whatsoever to do with Genesis, except that all the guys in that band did solo projects… And so am I! Yes, the U. S. S. Titanic has sailed once [...]
Well, it took eighteen some years, but I finally finished this lyric. It’s a song about losing a friend, someone you really cared about, and not getting to mourn “the right way” because you missed the service. Here is the backstory.

But, that said, I absolutely understand why many of you truly feel betrayed by the system. Here are [...]
In response to someone calling me a liberal and Truther for saying the Star Trek DS9 episode “In the Pale Moonlight” is somewhat analogous to the Global war on Terror concerning torture and Gitmo. I was on another thread issued this challenge: Hey, sf – You could rewrite it to touch upon your crypto-Troofer beliefs [...]
Just wrote it on a whim for Althouses Blog! “Oh my Gaia I’m so distressed I can’t afford expensive dress Cause I’m kind of poor but we know that I’m a young progressive Democrat I march all day and yell and scream I’m joined by Ben and Jerry’s ice cream! I’ve not a clue my [...]
Last night, Acoustic Highway had one of the best gigs we’ve had in the four years we’ve been together. We played up in Oakhurst at the Sky Ranch resort for a Ren-fair. It’s not that the crowd was huge… It wasn’t. There were only about twenty people there. But we sounded GREAT! It wasn’t just [...]
The original version is “Born In The 50′s” by the Police. I reworded it to represent my generation, and performed it while singing and bassing for my college band “Out Of Hand” in the early 90′s. Posted on Sonicfrog in response to a recent post at Althouse. ♫We were born, born in the sixties Born, [...]
