		<title>arrive without traveling</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Travel Light on Your Road
For some reason, I was reading an article about traveling songs and I remembered a song I&#8217;d written a few years ago but not posted here for you. I have the feeling I let it out somewhere though, so apologies if you&#8217;ve heard it before&#8230;.
As much as I love seeing new [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;d Rather See You Than Avatar
Not too long ago, I received an email from Hackydog that simply said,
I have a title that could use a song:
&#8216;I&#8217;d Rather See You Than Avatar&#8217;
I&#8217;m not sure why exactly, but I connected with that and within about an hour had recorded the song presented to you today. It&#8217;s silly [...]]]></description>

		<title>lower the roof beam, carpenters&#8230;salinger&#8217;s gone home</title>
		<description><![CDATA[9 Stories
You can hate me if you want, but Catcher in the Rye is my least favorite book by J.D. Salinger. In fact, it&#8217;s not even one of my favorite books by anybody. And yet, oddly enough, Salinger is one of my favorite writers.
Certainly I recognize the importance of Catcher in  shaping the lives [...]]]></description>

		<title>kicking down the cobblestones</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Masti Love Theme
Let&#8217;s start the new year&#8217;s gaggle of songs with an instrumental, shall we? Above is a recent one I wrote &#38; recorded for an independent film about an ill-fated Hindu dating service. The film&#8217;s a comedy, and some of the humor reminded me of those over-the-top sixties films that I love so much [...]]]></description>

		<title>saying goodbye to 2009</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Some will say 2009 was a good year, and others will say it was a bad year. Me, I hardly noticed it, slipping by as quickly and subtly as it did. Plus &#8211; just as many folks give up meat or smoking because they&#8217;re bad for you &#8211; I&#8217;ve been trying not to let too [...]]]></description>

		<title>let it snow, let it snow, let it snow</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Let It Snow
I love snow. Probably because, growing up in the Deep South, there wasn&#8217;t a lot of it around. Oh sure, we managed a flurry most years, but accumulation was a rare and meager thing: one inch and the whole town shut down. White Christmas? I didn&#8217;t know what that song was about until [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Is Tom Hanks Giving You A Hard Time?
Thanksgiving came and went without so much as a burp, if by burp you mean song (and I do). This song was intended to be a song for that holiday, but well you know me and so it&#8217;s moved along and become probably just what it wanted to [...]]]></description>

Perhaps there&#8217;s no better time for a sacrilege than Halloween.
As the end of this month was drawing nigh and I was finally finding some time to work on this month&#8217;s song, I decided to do something in the frightful orange spirit of this holiday. I&#8217;ve been catching up on the first season of [...]]]></description>

		<title>twenty-seven angels from the great beyond</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Because We Are the Sky
When someone tapes your voice, does it sound strange to you when you hear it played back? Mine does, as it does for so many people. The sound I hear myself making from inside my head, from within the acoustical confines of my skull I suppose, is often embarrassingly different from [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Truman&#8217;s Hat (Previsited)
Today is the twenty-fifth anniversary of the death of Truman Capote, one of my favorite writers.
Truman possessed that glorious ability to dream-up an excellent story and then craft it into perfection with the precision and grace of a masterful wordsmith. From humble beginnings, he rose to enjoy the riches of celebrity, and floated [...]]]></description>

I share a birthday with Thomas Edison and claimed him as a hero from a very young age, even going so far as to cause chemistry set explosions in my closet many mornings before walking off to school. I&#8217;ve had many heroes since, but find it slightly ironic that [...]]]></description>
