Here's a new song. I pulled from some of the memories I have growing up, such as never learning to swim because we had lessons at 9 am in northwest Iowa when the water was just becoming un-thawed. I recall not liking that temperature. But the pool had great frozen Milky Way bars. This song also gave me the chance to find something to rhyme with "Jean Luc Picard". You will have to listen to it to find out what that word is, but it is not as interesting as "Jean Luc Picard." Yes, "Jean Luc Picard" is very interesting. I also did most likely ruin some valuable baseball cards in bike spokes (not while recording this song, however), although I was usually careful to use the Padres or some team like that, and I did race homemade boats a friend and I put together from scrap wood and spray painted, because I was a nerd.

You can download the song as part of the rather large package of all my music here.

Fort Atlantic "is analog warmth and digital madness, quiet songs of searching and anthemic songs of discovery." Check them out at their NoiseTrade page; in particular, check out "Up From The Ground".

I found Josh's music on Bandpage. He has a pretty unique voice with some understated arrangements which remind me of early Jars of Clay. Here's a sample from his CD "Love & War & The Sea In Between".

These guys play guitar better than I do. Nice ride cymbal work, btw.

Sarah MacIntosh was the lead singer for "Chasing Furies", a band I had heard of but had not listened to. I'm liking her mix of techno and acoustic instruments with some creative production. Check out her Facebook page for more music.

Just a note that Amazon.com is now carrying "Bedtime Piano", so when you order your next Justin Bieber CD consider someone with less hair.
