My first release in 2005. 15 songs of solo guitar and vocals in the
musical troubadour style.
Sentimental Fool was recorded in a few hours at the local public radio station, NCPR.
Why Oh Why asks all the big questions. For answers you will have to look elsewhere.
Emma's Song was inspired by a quote
from Emma Goldman I saw on a tshirt. The quote was "If I can't dance I don't want to be a part of your revolution."
Or something like that. Turns out she never really said it. But by the time I found out it was too late and I had already
written the song.
Sentimental Fool was inspired, if you want to call it that, by an incident in my town where a young man was
"playing" with an AK 47 in the woods and accidentally shot into a neighbor's home. It got me thinking about
guns and violence and beliefs.
The Final Hour
is a story about a person who has reached the end of his life and finds maybe he wasn't as successful as he thought he
was. And nobody around him figured out how to break it to him. That's life.
The fool
figure was drawn by my good friend Jean Williams-Bergen. The cd cover was designed by Smith and
Jones Communications.
