Track List
1. pass it around 3:56
A true story about a phone call from a friend that came
when it was desperately needed. On another level, a song about
sharing joy.
2. something blue 4:41
A true story about playing for an ex-girlfriend's wedding. It was not nearly as
dramatic in real life.
3. in the beat of a heart 4:34
This song was written for a friend who lost her partner in a motorcycle
accident. I'm simply telling her that if it had been me, I would want her to
remember the good life lived, not the unfair end.
4. could've been me 5:06
A song about how the bad experiences in
life invariably lead to good things, and vice-versa. Karma, y'know.
5. not tonight i've got a heartache 3:30
A story of turning away from meaningless encounters.
6. province of fools 4:39
Fools go where angels fear to tread. This song is about wanting
to get inside an old photograph.
7. hello stranger 5:48
A long telephone call with an ex-lover about the new
love of her life. Every word in the song was spoken in that
conversation, but I did take some license with the phrasing.
8. make time for me 3:51 - (cd bonus track)
A rerecording of a song from my first album, "Simple Sketches". Unusual in that the imagery is not as
concrete as my more recent material.
9. carolina wanderin' 3:47 - (cd bonus track)
A rerecording of a song on my second album, "Random Glances". This is a song
about traveling through North Carolina while on tour.
10. need a little rain 5:38
An ambitious song about the plight of a farmer when soil suffers from drought
and the soul suffers from doubt.
11. someone like you 3:00
A short song written for someone I apparently haven't met yet.
12. nightmare in the sand 5:39
Written on the eve of the Gulf War. I received the ultimate compliment from my
friend Jake, who served there, when he told me that if he didn't know better,
he would have thought I'd been there.
13. young white male 3:53
I wrote this as a joke on personal ads. Very unlike most of my other
material. Originally recorded on "Random Glances".
14. tourist trade 4:20
A summer tourist town is an odd place during the winter. This song got
me fired from the hotel bar I was playing in! See if you
can tell which line angered the owner.
15. the smile i got from you 5:09
A song that was inspired by watching dolphins sporting beneath the Bridge of
Lions here in St. Augustine late one
summer evening.
16. last year's veteran 4:03
A song I wrote about my father, and the difference between the treatment of
veterans of Vietnam and veterans from the first Gulf War. A part of me will always be angry that my father's service to this
country was never appreciated. I hope that this song makes a difference in the hearts of people who use
terms like "baby-killer" without considering the effect it has.
