Serious Songs
When I Needed You September 1995March 2003 This was written a couple of weeks after I broke up with a long-time girlfriend. It's about having a friend you can lean on when you're not feeling so strong. This is the first song I've written since high school. I don't recall what prompted me to sit down and write a song.
Christmas Eve With You December 1995March 2003 This was a Christmas gift to a friend. It's a whimsical little song, and awfully short, too - under two minutes. This song is the result of my lack of ability in the kitchen. I received a Christmas list, and one of the suggestions on it was a batch of cookies baked by moi. Well, I figured writing a song was a much less hazardous form of creative expression, so I did that instead.
Going Through The Motions June 2009 Three things:
  1. I apologize for the horrible synchronization problems between the various parts. There seems to be a compatibility problem between the sound hardware in my new computer and the recording software. Honestly, I'm not that bad a player!
  2. Yes, I know even the two bands referenced in this song don't sound like this any more (not that I'm that good an imitator of them anyway).
  3. Unlike the other songs, the link goes directly to the MP3; there is no page of lyrics.
Parodies
Raisin Bran March 2007 This is a parody of a Raisin Bran commercial from my childhood which returned a few months ago. It's still about a lumberjack, but not the same lumberjack, and he has a different reason for coming down from his tree.
Ballad of Rick Tocchet June 2007 This song tells the sad tale of Rick Tocchet and his brush with the law.

That's it for now. There are a whole pile of songs I wrote while I was in high school, and maybe I'll put some of them up eventually. And any songs I write in the future will probably also show up here. Check back once in a while!
