Freak Like Me

November '95


3 minute version of the story of my life up until that point...

The nostalgia of looking back at the days when I was still free to roam about like a gypsy, compared to the settled down life-style I saw myself stuck in... But there are always some lessons to learn from all of it...

Eye Of The Storm

October 12, 1995

I was playing in lots of Irish Pubs during this time.

The fiddle on this one was played by Maire Egan, the girl-friend of one of the Pub owners in Constance at that time...

This Kid

July '95

Song for my son Benjamin. He was such a cute and cheery fellow at age 3...

You couldn't help but be changed.

Wandering Through The Desert


April through July 4, '95

Similar to the previous one, a song in which I admit that I've been getting off the straight & narrow & recognizing the need to find my way back home...

A parallel between my own life and that of the people of Israel wandering through the desert for 40 years after having arrived at the Promised Land and not having the guts to invade it...

Drifting Around

Constance, June 13, '95

In the 80s movie "Made In Heaven" at one point, this guy who plays an angel angel tells his charge on earth that he's not making any progress, just sort of drifting along... I knew that applied to me for the previous couple of years in my life, & this is one of my "prodigal returning home"announcements.

Would You Be Listening

Ravensburg, June 3, '95

There are so many things we would sometimes like to tell people that could really help them, if they would only be interested enough to listen...

Welcome to the Rhythm

Between Dec.3, '94 and March 1, '95

On December 3rd, 1994, our daughter Julie-Ann was born.

I actually wrote the first half of this song in the hospital while we were waiting for her arrival.

After 3 boys in a row, she was a nice surprise.


Title song of the '97 album, "Rhythm of Life"

Judas

Jan.15, 1995

Funny we know so little about Judas when there seem to be so many people like him.

I guess we've all felt betrayed at one time or another, and may, at the same time, also have sometimes let others down, too.

History repeats itself.
