My old personal trainer commented one Monday morning about my eating of pizza and other not so good foods over the weekend and said you're going to end up with the big belly blues. I immediately said that a song right there...and he challenged me to write it...and so here's a rough demo of the "The Big Belly Blues".

My tongue-in-cheek version of the blues.

This is song about that feeling you get when you know something isn't quite right with a relationship. There aren't any obvious signs, you just have a feeling that something bad is about to happen.

This is a song about taking life at your own pace, no matter if it doesn't align with everyone else's perception of how life should be lived

Another one of those Bo Carter-ish 'euphemism blues', but arranged this time for a sort of old-style country blues piano.

Another of my old-time flavored pieces, this work tape is about a couple of ant and grasshopper types...

An old-time 'euphemism blues' in the spirit of Bo Carter (if not the style), with an obvious nod to the great Leon Redbone.

A re-imagining of St. James' Infirmary that transforms the standard into an odd, old-fashioned, somebody-did-me-wrong song.

I lived in the country for a bit and kept finding a lot of black widows, so many that one day I said to myself "Black widows like to hide down low" as I was bug-spraying yet another one - and the song was born.
