Bonnie Raitt's latest album
'SOULS ALIKE' features my song "Trinkets". It is a GREAT album by a GREAT artist and person - with a FABULOUS band. I am thrilled to be associated with it. Thank you Bonnie!
And if you haven't already heard it, here's an audio gander at the original -
extended version of Trinkets that I thought was a little too long for Labor & Spirits (at the time haha). Spacey ending and all - Y'all...groooovy!

"LABOR & SPIRITS" was the name of my debut album. It was meant to feature some of the finest players and craftspeople in our funky ol' musical world, as well as to introduce me as someone who likes it simple and sweet as often as I do funky and strong. I think we did a pretty good job of it (if I do say so myself). If you'd like , please click here to -

Okay, this ain't the most fun and frolical S.G.L.S.O.M.C. news, but dig....
Inspired by things I know, and things I've just been reminded of, I've decided to only eat meatnesses I know was happy while they were alive. Corporate factory farming is a horrible and nasty business that is bad for literally everything involved - but look all pink and precious in the wrapped packages of their product that we buy in the Megamart. Look, I know it's gonna take some doing, and I'm sure there are gonna be some dilemmas arise where I'm gonna wanna (and will) choose rapport rather than rules; but I can't stand the thought of creatures I'd like to play with suffering every single day of their life before they come to my party on a plate. So, with that in mind, and to help you with where you might find your happy place in this ethical dilemma, I'm going to be offering places that are exemplary in their farming and ranching methods, and who are sources for clean and beautiful meat (while you and I are still eating it ;o). First on the hog parade is -
Flying Pigs Farm of Shushan, NY. Saaaaalute!
