Don't be mislead. Despite appearances, I did not fall asleep on the stage of WMHT's AHA! A House for Arts. That, friends, is Mark's piano face. Not as egregious as John Mayer's guitar face, so that's good.

Glorious Ghosts (2023)

Wrote this song at the 2021 #sadsongssummercamp hosted by @themilkcartonkids at the Music Masters Collective at the Full Moon Resort. Not a sad song, though. Not really. Endings as beginnings and all that.

Posthumous thanks to Norman McLaren for this modified excerpt of his 1968 film Pas De Deux featuring dancers Margaret Mercier and Vincent Warren.

Hey look. It's another artist going on about how crazy the world is. Sure, but I was doing it before it was cool. Or at least in 1994, when I wrote this. Just joshing... angst is timeless and crazy endures.

Thanks for lending your eyes. Sorry for your eyes.
