A musician sleeps and while sleeping dreams of performing dream-vision renditions of songs he loves by artists he’s long admired. That’s the concept, in a nutshell, of my new album “I’ll Cover You in My Dreams.”
“Dream of Sailing” is a short poetry-film set in a faraway hospital where the narrator, recently returned from war, imagines a life at sea. But will he ever leave the confines of the infirmary?
Thanks to everyone who played a part in creating this film.
And now… here’s a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the all-new “Fear the G-Drive” album. “E Is for Elephant” is the opening number on the record. It’s also a fun new lyric video (edited by Nico Sotomayor).
All the images in this video come from the spots where the record was made. TW’s Mancave Studio in Calistoga! TOP 1 Studio in San Mateo! And Tiny Telephone Recording Studio in Oakland!
Fear the G-Drive. Made in California. Turn it up to 11. If you dare!

While working on a new album recently, I took a few minutes to record this song from my favorite album from my favorite band. It’s one of the first songs I ever learned to play and I’m still trying to get it right … but here’s where it is now.
“I’m One” Written by Pete Townshend From “Quadrophenia” by The Who
March 25, 2023 – It was a wonderful night at The Lost Church in San Francisco when Jules Leyhe and I played together live for the first time. Thanks to The Lost Church … and to Jules … and to the amazing people who came from near and far. As one audience member said, it was “a beautiful performance.” I’m a bit biased, but I agree 100%.

I’m very excited to announce an upcoming show with the fantastic Jules Leyhe on March 25, 2023 at The Lost Church in San Francisco (new North Beach location). Come on down and check it out!
RL and I visited Joshua Tree last year. Always an inspirational place. And in the spirit of that inspiration, I wrote a few songs … including this one.
Huge thanks to Jules Leyhe for hanging out with me in the Rock-n-Roll Oasis. If you haven’t checked out this talented guitarist (and all-around super-nice dude), now’s the time … and the time is now.
I was happy to sneak in a last day in the studio in 2022. So long to you, and hello to 2023.
Thanks to Jules Leyhe (guitar), Marty Izenson (sax), and Danielle Goldsmith (audio engineer) for helping to make it a fun and productive day at Tiny Telephone Recording studio.
The hours flew by so fast (at least I thought so).
