kate graves likes flowers, so we wrote 10. FLOWERS
one time in seattle, i wrote this w/ sarah sample, 11. THE UNDERDOG
you made it to the end, here’s your prize: 12. WRITTEN JUST FOR ME

sometimes it ain’t pretty, but life’s good even when it’s not.

tom prasada-rao did the fancy, smart ‘n tricky stuff to make me sound the best he could at the wildflower tofu bar studio in the republic of texas – he’s also the one singing with me and doin’ fine things with the bass guitar, electric guitar, keyboard and the like.

if you hear an angel’s voice a-singin’ along, that’s cary cooper.
that’s thurman doin’ his part on the dog collar.
tom eaton mastered the songs in newburyport, ma.

any likeness of characters portrayed in these songs to real people in my life is entirely not a coincidence.

thanks for lis’nin’ – now get movin’ along.
‘til next time, all my love (especially to the ladies),
erik
