The warring factions battle it out in ancient towns like Baghdad, Damascus, Palmyra and Aleppo. These are cities that are among the oldest inhabited sites on earth, and they are being reduced to rubble in our time. What must life be like for people in these places who have families and dreams? Who are they, and why do they want to leave? These were some questions on my mind. The incidents of terrorism in Europe and the US are horrific, but in comparison we live in a paradise interrupted by the rare nightmare. What is it like to live in a nightmare from which you can't wake up?

I recently asked my friend Jackson Ahern if he had some lyrics I could work with, being a poet of fine reputation. This is the song that resulted when we put his words with my music...

Great stuff yet again. And, I must say, the amount of work you put into editing pics for these is impressive. Thanks.

Thanks Gnu and David.
The new one, Wyoming Wind, got posted on Soundcloud, which is where I usually post new material so I can listen and make any changes I feel the song needs. Then I will often create a photo slide show and put it on Youtube when I feel that the song is finished. Sometimes the photos are a challenge to put together, and the songs can be limited in their meaning by them, if you follow me.
Some, like Ghost Town, are quite easy when you find the right batch of pictures.

I found the lyric for this very strange song while going through a notebook of papers from the early 70s. I was in a rock band at the time, and must have written this song with that in mind. Anyway, it slumbered in the dark for 40 years, like the Undead, until a few days ago when I decided to get it recorded. So, turn out the lights, make sure the windows are closed, and listen to

My dad used to tell me "there's nothing there in the dark that isn't there in the daylight." I never quite believed it.
