i’m proud to share tonight’s song dot land. what begins as a silly journey of energy rollercoasters gets real at minute 15:20 in a sequence we’ll call the well. “explosions in the sky. i am made new.”
i overdubbed one track with minor edits. thanks for listening!
forever covers the grandness of summer. it is a time of intense energy of the sun. corn grows to eat this season’s bounty of light. fall comes soon. “and i knew we’d go forever”
forever is two recording sessions together in one. 10:30 is the split. “whispering shadows” begins a recording i made last week. the beginning was tonight with one overdub track. i’m proud of the energy produced during minute 15!
song.land. always the first take, for better or worse!
thanks for listening to my music. happy waxing crescent season! and summer!
i found this episode in my drafts folder, last edited between snow and lightyear—january 15, 2020. that’s before the pandemic!
i must send this to derek, he needs to hear it. his playing rocks, but that’s not what special—no, he sings! my drum playing was way too active. sorry, derek.
what i wrote three years ago:
week’s song.land goes through you couple themes as derek strawn and i make music together. we begin by celebrating the risk and reward of taking chances.
“i love dandelions / oh, how i love those majestic plants / one of the best green veggies you can have in your sweet salad / you can add some cranberries, too, no / what joy and happiness can feel like if you just let all of your striving / all of your striving to go”
enjoy this new, passionate episode of song dot land! i loved making it!
happy summer solstice 2023!
tonight’s song dot land starts with a sad one! i find solace and friendship and compassion for suffering in sorrow-filled songs. and set to a beat, it’s a journey! may we all grow strong and resilient, like this dandelion breaking through a crayfish mound. enjoy!
welcome to this week’s song dot land! spring begins where i live even as a frost warning covers the area tonight. good luck to all flora and fauna tonight, like these daffodils.
inspiration for tonight’s music came from teachings from thich nhat hanh on breathing and noticing the present moment.
the green comet last seen fifty thousand years ago passes over us tomorrow.
i reference the solar eclipse of twenty-seventeen. and i’m not starting a cult.

i’ve returned with another winter solstice! this one has layers. “the days are getting longer / life will soon rise / it’s at it’s lowest point tonight”
the cover photo comes from an image i took where flocks of 2,000+ birds perch in trees and play together.
tonight’s episode of song dot land comes from the energy of the outdoors! “you were always something grand”. rock and roll
