I have no idea if this is the 27th time I’ve written a “”Good Things Happen” post. I’ve written a few. The number just popped in my head, and I ran with it. This is going to be a fun music-filled weekend. Tonight, my band Laurel Canyon is playing its first two hour show ever […]
I wrote this… But I might have bagged it from someone else, from some other song! It used to be my way or the highway Until I realized The highway is much more fun! I don’t care if I stole it… I’m keeping it!!!! Any other songwriters have this conundrum of constant fear that […]
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!

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. Now, if my neighbors stupid car alarm that’s screaming through my window will just […]
I don’t always agree with your methods; I don’t always agree with some of the more extreme views on display; and I can’t stand the whole bused-in and paid-for bodies that are there mixed in the crowd. 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 […]
