EXPLANATION/MANIFESTO

Well, I never intended to make an album. I’ve been out of showbiz for a while now. I do, however continue to write songs and I do like to share those songs with my friends.

In the summer of 2015 I was feeling really mortal and wanted to put down some songs of mine in case I croaked. My friend Ben Guzman, a badass old-time fiddle player, (Triple Chicken Foot, High Life Cajun Band) offered to record me one afternoon. Ben and his partner Angela have a video production company called Small Medium Large Productions, smallmediumlargeproductions.com and I totally fell in love with their work.

So, one warm Saturday in July I recorded a pile of songs in a house in Highland Park, Ca. We had a good time including the burrito lunch. In the months that followed, Ben got real busy, and so did I and I kinda forgot about it. In a way I didn’t care because the songs were recorded and if I croaked then at least somebody had them, they existed somewhere and that gave me comfort. Months later, Ben sent me the tracks and I liked listening to them in my truck going back and forth to work. I started thinking about sharing the recordings with my friends, though I didn’t know how. So Ben and his friend Doug Tiano mastered the tracks and I really liked how they came out. They sound good in my truck and that’s all I give a shit about.

Look, this is a record of a guy sitting in a room and playing songs. It ain’t perfect. It ain’t meant to be. There are clicks and clanks and squeaks and squonks and the imperfect sounds of a imperfect man playing his songs. I hope you enjoy it, I am really grateful for your friendship.
