1. Summer Love in 69.
This song says it all doesn't it. I wasn't born in the 60's so everything that I base my knowledge on are family experiences and taking classes in college called "Decade of the 60's" I dreamt one night driving to Woodstock and what my adventures might have been going.

Close your eyes and imagine a VW bus driving alone from the west to New York to experience a movement that defined an entire genereation. Even if you didn't go, you were changed.

2. My Closet Hippie Chick
One of my most favorites and most cursed songs ever written. I have played this song on stage and have had power outages, blown speakers, cooked amps and pedals go out on me. One memorable time would be breaking 4 out of 6 strings on one stroke. My homage to the great musicians of the past were telling me to "pay my dues" before trying on stage. But, I'll be honest I'm still nervous to play it on stage even though I haven't had a mishap in 2 years. (Knock on wood)

3. Thanks Mr. Brubeck
Need I say more??? Dave Brubeck, amazing jazz man, Take Five this is my take of take Five. I saw him in person, sat 10 feet away and just drooled as the keys and skins spun together into a web of sound. Thank you again Mr. Brubeck.

4. Lizard Fish
It's called Lizard Fish... I've had people come up to be and say "What do you say? Crazy Bitch?" I thought about that... put the lyrics together and "Ocean tides push him aside, Crazy Bitch comes for the ride." just didn't sound right.
It's about Darwin and the evolution of man. "Now there's man Lizard Fish, Dogs and Cats Lizard Fish, Birds in the sky, Lizard Fish, Fish in the sea, Lizard Fish. Lizard Fish." it's all about where we came from.

5. Epic Journey
It's about remembering the past, watching the present as a new part in your life changes and the instrumental is the epic journey that you will go though to the next stage in your life. Very simple, a cry for the past living the present lifting your head to the future.

6. New Ocean Planet
A trance combination, the silence and sounds of what a new ocean planet must sound like when created. The life brewing underneath the surface. Just flying in a intergalactic spaceship skimming the water and flying away

7. Falling Away
Just a simple classic break up song. Nothing more nothing less.

8. Undertow
Internal rhythms of the soul, an under current that sends us into a rhythmatic beat. Something that flows through my head daily.

9. Sweden in Spring
Well, not truly knowing what Sweden in spring looks like, but being there in winter and meeting the people and seeing the passion they carry within them in amazing. I can only imagine the excitement and festivities they have during Spring.

10. Train Robbery
Well, that was my attempt of a little folklore of robbing a train. Did it succeed or just suck? Who knows. But I had fun doing it regardless.

Peace!
