A woman said to me once There are dark nights of the soul Staying up Boozy in wine Eyes fearful on the door Wondering what will come in Those times, it’s harder to sit in stillness And soften to the air Pass through the sharpened feelings And realize that there’s nothing here But me It’s […]

I am late.  All the time. Usually only a couple minutes late, sometimes maybe five.  I’ll call if I’m going to get to ten, so at least I seem polite about it. But I am consistently, irrefutably, unarguably late. I’ve been mulling over this habit of mine of late and trying to ferret out its […]

“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.”  “Every block of stone has a sculpture inside it and it is the task of the sculptor to discover it.” – Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni   Michelangelo had the ability to see the form inside the sculpture.  He carved away […]

Okay,  this one is a bit of a different style.  Broad, brassy, silly and Broadway.  I recorded this as a present for my Grandma for her recent 92nd birthday.  Back when I was wee (and had permed hair, see figure A), I used to sing this as a cabaret tune, and she’s loved it ever […]

You have a right to pleasure. Pleasure.  Say it.  It’s slow, it’s sensual, it has a lovely shhhhhhh sound right in the middle. Pleasure. You have a right to feel good in your skin.  It is, in fact, a divinely given right bequeathed to you via your senses, who, like tiny angelic messengers, are constantly […]

Fantasies are fun, my dear When you long for relationship To fill The hollow ache You close your eyes and swoon Dreaming of strong hands and soft glances But your body has a fire Your heartbeat a steadfast companion Each breath more intimate than the deepest kiss How can you be lonely when the world […]

Heat up your night with Peggy Lee’s classic. Fever “Kitchen Music:”  Music recorded literally in the kitchen.  No auto-tune.  No fancy mixin’.  Just me and my Garage Band and the sink.  Thanks for listening. (Although a caveat to this one.  This one was actually recorded in my Dad’s tool shed while visiting Texas.  But the […]

The subterranean landscape moves, jiggles, giggles, wanders, flows My animal, innate need rising through tissues Impassioned, empowered, wild Seeking relationship Yearning for movement, for cycles of change, for radical break through and then Sleepy, cozy, comfort Settling into the arms, the cooling sweat of another’s body Gliding planes seeking connection A thousand relationships through the […]

Another sultry classic.  You know the kind of day: Coffee.  Cigarettes. A man who won’t come home. Oh yes. Black Coffee   “Kitchen Music:”  Music recorded literally in the kitchen.  No auto-tune.  No fancy mixin’.  Just me and my Garage Band and the sink.  Thanks for listening.

One of my favorite songs ever. Sultry.  Sexy. Feel the southern heat settle across your skin as you sit on a lazy porch rocker with a cool glass of lemonade.   You gaze out at the fields, where the grass barely sways to move in the warm wind.  Condensation slips down the side of the glass… […]

Kitchen Music is a series of songs that I literally sing in the kitchen with the aid of Garage Band. God bless Garage Band. This one is Joni’s Mitchell’s “Case of You.”  This song is very special to me.   Thanks for listening. Case of You    

“If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.” “The only thing that doesn’t change is change itself.” “The right decision isn’t always easy.”   These hard nuts of reason come easily to the tongue and slowly to the spirit.  I get swatted by a new life lesson and it’s as if I’m […]
