From the click of the drummer's sticks to the last fade out, music is about discovery, joy, energy, and…

While I have no memory of the setlist played by Raspberry, I'm quite sure we would have played this rocker called William T. Ryker (yes, I know that's the wrong spelling). We played a lot of house shows back in…

Maybe we were in pursuit of our version of anthemic punk, emotional discord, or simply the right party to play at. I don't know what we were searching for, but I do know we loved the music we made…

Song: Golden Boy, Glenda, and Shamoo

I wanted to tell a Christmas story in the story-telling style of Tom T. Hall and Johnny Cash. Here's what I came up with. It's the story of three misfit barflies accused…

I went to Hawaii in search of Magnum PI. May have stumbled into Elvis when I bought this shirt. Went to the beach with my smart phone in my pocket. Went swimming. Left the beach without my smart phone in…

Song: Fixed

I took a collage approach to writing when I set the drums up in my studio for this song. I played along to a metronome set at four difference speeds to achieve four different potential frameworks…

Song: Packing up (Atari of my dreams)
