Now whether this goes on the new album, I am not too sure of. But when I gave Rodney a choice of songs to work on – he opted for this one. I had to change a few things here and there. Not mixed or mastered. This is in essence a scratch track. The last […]

I wrote this song for my Father, a year or so before he passed. I was once told that to the Mexican people butterflies are the souls of warriors dancing and singing. So I used this metaphor throughout the song. I cried when I wrote this song and I cried again I heard the arrangement […]

Just some random thoughts on my notebook. * Dear Daddy When I miss you I will write instead, so I hope you are listening. I never understood what Aunty Sonny meant when she said my heart will become heavy with the loss of you. Until now. I am sitting in my white chair, next to […]

This was a painful song to write, I admitted this before. The good ole days when I could smoke cigarettes of my choice and drink whiskey – at normal prices! At my side is Yvan Potts, another wonderful pianist.    

Again, Andre and I having fun in studio. Look, one can’t always be deep and introspective. That’s him singing in the background!

Andre Scheepers wrote  and produced this song. He has a thing for electronica. This song is called Something’s Gotta Change.

Our body carries its own wisdom. I had a dream and my body ached inside and outside of the dream. In fact in the dream I was taking pain medication given to me. The last time I felt this ache was on my return from France. Yeah, I am gonna call it what it was, […]

This band is from Houston, The Suffers and I dig their energy. The lead singer though…when I heard this song I thought ‘Hell no lady! I am not cooking for anyone’s ass! Where’s the death threats, a slap here and there….in music?’ Take a listen and lemme know. There is no way in gods green […]
