This is a historical collection.
Meatberry Pie is a late 90s song from Green Beings, my responsible-food-practices band.
The other solo stuff is a mixed bag, most of it very old, and all of it recorded, again, as 'house demos.' The oldest stuff, recorded in the mid-90s at Aster Farm Studios, includes I Think of You, Hey Jupiter, Northern Lad, and China. Fjordstone Studio in the early 00s is responsible for England, Solus, How Close to Heaven, and Mapping the Shoreline.
I think my personal favorites are the ones in the top row, and Solus. Although some of these songs are better examples of what I do than others, they all are souvenirs of a place, and a time, and that makes them cherished tchotchkes on the shelf of memory. I'm hoping that I'll have some brand-spanking new sound files for you soon! Until then, listen, and enjoy.

The newest stuff is from Bah & the Humbugs, my Christmas band. Genetically Modified Gingerbread Man and Santa Pulled Down My Icicle Lights are fairly recent, recorded at Fjordstone Studio over the last couple of years. Same Time Next Year is more of a 'house demo,' recorded at Aster Farm Studios in the late 90s, for the Humbugs "Santa Monica" CD single. Its claim to fame is that it shocked CNN anchor Carol Lin when I revealed on-air that it told the story of Mrs. Claus's annual infidelity.
