Updated on September 9th 2026 with a new song. Hopefully I can get Charlotte to do a cover for me.
NEW! Sometimes the Dream – When you find the one true love they replace your dreams.
I am the Image – If we are all just a perception that lives in our and others’ consciousness, what happens when another person dies? Do we mourn the person or the part of us in that person’s mind?
Half a World Away – Charlotte asked me to write a song for her to sing. So here is my first effort at Motown. I tried to incorporate something that was important to her.
Two Kinds of Power – For my niece Olivia and her new husband Christian on their wedding day
The Profile of You – We all create images of the people and events in our lives. These come together in profiles in our consciousness.
Spinoza’s Dream — A father walks the shoreline with his daughter, teaching her that every wave is God — not a distant God who listens and decides, but the ocean itself, vast and unbroken, love and matter and meaning all woven into one. Rooted in Spinoza’s vision of a universe where everything is an expression of a single infinite substance, “Spinoza’s Dream” finds something tender and devastating in that philosophy: if God is everything, then forgetting is also God, and even the memories slipping away are still part of the whole.
Soul Sister – My sister in law is the strongest person I know. I love her dearly. Bro, you hit the jackpot!
Theory of Mind – We are living in the same world, but don’t really understand that we all have different perceptions of how it works.
The Invisible Man (in the leather chair) – When you are there, but people look through you.
Set Me Free – Battle hymn for the demented. Trapped inside my mind but still better than most.
The Long Way Home – This describes my early signs of Alzheimer’s. Getting lost, but then found.
Scrapbook in the Shadows – I was adopted as a baby. This is for the woman that gave me life and more love than I can express.
Zero Point – I tried to put life in the context of quantum entanglement. Probably not exactly correct, since we are larger than particles, but still…
Morning Grass (晨草) – The love of my life
Bougainvilla Fire – While trimming the bougainvillea in our yard, getting my arms and legs poked like a pin cusion, I thought of this.
The Peaceful Warrior – Watch some of Charlie Kirk’s debates on college campuses. Don’t just believe the media, see it and listen, then you will know why I wrote this.
The Angel on the Sand – On New Year’s Day, my little nephew went out on the beach to play.
My Little Angel – Written for my daughter on her wedding day
Fading Thunder – Angry old man rant, but grounded in truth
We had Heros, You have Zeros – Today’s “music”, politics, and celebrities suck. Sorry, they do.
Genetic Gasoline – My genes carry poison. Gotta cure Alzheimer’s before my kids realize their inheritance.
