Here are a couple acoustic demos of new tunes I thought I'd share with you. I recorded these at Larry Wolkan's studio as submissions for the 2004 Telluride Troubadour Contest. Hope you like 'em.

At the 2001 Hoofprint Farm Party, everything that happened on stage was also captured on tape. Here is my set pretty much in its entirely, with gratitude once again to Larry Wolkan of Jazz Ethics for all the work in editing and digitizing the music. Enjoy!

A couple words about copyright are in order here, I suppose. I am generally a stickler about going by the book on these kinds of things, but on the other hand I'm pretty certain that I'm not depriving anyone of income by including some non-original tunes on this site. In fact, my hope is that spreading this music around will ultimately benefit the writers. That's why I credit them conspicuously, and even include links to many of their own web sites over on the Songs page. In the case of my own stuff that you see here, I have no problem with getting it into people's ears either. I guess my real intent is that you listen to the recordings on your computer, end of story. If you do feel compelled to copy them into a more permanent format like a CD, I do ask that you include my name and copyright notice, as it appears below. It's a CYA kind of thing. Thanks!
