Where’d your gardener go?
Has he left you lone?
Clouds began to show,
He packed up for home
Snowflakes fall
Snowflakes fall
Raise your tender shoots,
Now the winter’s gone
Beat back to your roots,
Your first bloom withdrawn
Rise once more!
Rise once more!
Slow at first to
Show your green and
Glow, your roots must
Grow deeper still
Till you press yourself against the rock;
Your thousand fibrous fingers lock
A [...]

A random ditty I made while setting up some recording equipment.

These are only demo-quality stripped down arrangements, recorded on a hand-recorder, but I figured it would do to post at least something since I’ve been promising an album for a while. Not all lyrics and titles are final, not all songs will wind up acoustic. I’m working on recording the real deal, to be released [...]

I wake–it seems I had fallen asleep
On watch at the top of the hill.
I think how as the sun has set,
I’ve lost my own shadow in the Earth’s.
The day has moved it’s face
To look upon the fires far away.
From there, the last of the news that we heard
Came as rustling of the trees in the [...]

(Give us a listen, do)
When I was a little kid
Riding in the car,
Sometimes I’d look to see
No hands upon the wheel.
No parent in the seat,
Nobody to slow it down,
Strapped too tight
To reach up front
And take the wheel–

You don’t mind me coming round
I’m not sure what to do with that
It’s not like with other folks,
Where I’m shooed and waved out
From some well-kept city park
Where they spray down the nests
And the gates turn away
Nice old women
With old bread for my brood
So please don’t get me wrong,
I’m not saying you’re for [...]

My talented kindly brother will begin posting here under the name Squid. The Buttered Slice anticipates this collaboration with pleasure and seafood.
Squid recorded the following sample of his original guitar work and asked me to post it; please, enjoy.
