song post #6-- "summer storm"

This has been a pretty awesome summer with a lot of firsts: my first summer of being married, my first summer nearly dying of an autoimmune disease, my first summer trying to run a VBS type thing in my living room, and my first summer for quite a while when I wasn't working a lot. It would be tough to sum it up in a decent blog post, so I wrote a song about it. My good friend and extraordinary human being Peter Gaultney is singing.

song post #5-- "gravity"

Are there a lot of folk-pop songs out there called "gravity"? Yup! Does that one make mine any less special? You be the judge. Wrote this one last summer when I was pining for a certain young lady up in Maine.

song post #4-- "kofi's song"

This latest song is a song I wrote about a little boy I met in Ghana. He had been abandoned at the hospital (there had been a doctors' strike at every other hospital, leading the military hospital to be the only one open, and in the chaos his mom had somehow left the hospital.) The chorus refers to the Akan system of naming. This song was also part of the almost concept album.

Two versions of this song!

Acoustic (recorded with some help from my friend Liz.)

Electric (recorded by myself and my little Blue Snowball.)
