Song For My Wife
Song For My Wife Year: 2007 Genre: Folk
All guitars are me except the acoustic rhythm. This song was written and features vocals by friend and collaborator Mark Waters.

Rhythm Speaks
Rhythm Speaks Year: 2007
This is a song that I have basically no lyrics for, but I like the composition of it. I wrote it some time last fall. The part with the whole note strikes on the B min7 feature the only lyrics. Use your imagination for a melody, if you'd like: I caught your look with a hook and a snare, My hands speak rhythm, your hips can hear. Sketching images in pencil on canvas, Dance with me now, just dance, dance, dance!

? Year: 2006 Genre: Acoustic
I've had the beginning acoustic part lying around for about 7 years but didn't have anything else until last year when a friend of mine wrote lyrics and I added an instrumental bridge.

First Act
First Act Year: 2007 Genre: Acoustic
Fooling around with a toy guitar, which I had tuned kind of weird, I came up with the rhythm part and put it down. Then I layered over another part, kind of a lead part, with the same guitar, same levels. I like the way it sounds. Both are first takes, so they're a little sloppy.
