My third album is composed mostly of songs that are from my heart, regardless of the topic.

Enjoy!

THE WONDER - I looked back at some poems I wrote in my early twenties, and I'm still that guy. I still have no answers, but remain full of wonder!
OH WOMAN - This song simply honors the respect and admiration I have for many of the women in my life.
SHE WAS FIRE IN THE WIND - On my first album, I wrote a song about my daugher's passing. This song is about the bright, full of life spirit that Sara was.
A PART OF IT ALL (Sedona Skies) - Feeling small but a part of it all, beneath the starred-filled Sedona sky.
DAY DREAMS OF YOU - Away from home, waking up before the dawn, with thoughts of Joanie on my mind.
DRIFTING AWAY - Feeling loss, as many important people, and other aspects of our lives, start to drift away as time passes.
I AM HERE TO SHARE A SECRET (A poem by Erin Hanson) - My daughter had this poem on her wall. I wanted to put it to music so I can hear it again and again.
AT HOME - Celebrating our beautiful home and our beautiful adopted home town of Santa Barbara. There's no place better! (Celebrating our Space.)
GOT ANOTHER DAY - Just celebrating another day - nothing special, nothing important. Just lucky to have another day! (Celebrating our Time.)
THOSE GOOD OLD VIBES - Another fond remembrance of growing up in the generation of peace & love. (And don't yeah, sex & drugs too!)
HOLD IT LIGHTLY - Written with younger generations in mind, and the apparent increase in anxiety they seem to be experiencing. My unsolicited advice - most things work out okay.
WHO ARE WE - A sad a song about humanity, and how we allow homelessness and other inhumane situations to persist.
THE SHORELINE - Are we about to embark on a future that could change the very definition of what it means to be human?
CALIFORNIA - A breezy little song just to express the love I have for my home state.
ON ONE APPEARS (written by Ronald Kaplan) - This was written and performed by my lifelong buddy, back in 1981. The recording we had was awful, so I uploaded it to A.I which created this clean and clear version, in his memory.
THE UNIVERSE IN YOU (a poem by Maxine Meixner) - I came across this woman reciting her beautiful poem, and like Erin Hanson's poem, I wanted to see what kind of a song it could be. I love having this version to soothe my soul.
THE OTHER ONES - A tribute to one of my favorite families - my fellow Deadheads!
MY FATHER'S HOMELAND - Just to put me in the mood for Northern Spain.
