On the day before Tiny Telephone San Francisco closed forever, I scrambled into the studio to record six songs with guitarist extraordinaire Jules Leyhe. When looking back, I’ll always be thankful that I got one last recording day in this amazing space. And, with the session taking place during the days of COVID, I’m glad to say we all wore masks.
Listen to the mini-album now for FREE on BandCamp.
Recorded at Tiny Telephone San Francisco on July 13, 2020.

Fingers pressed tight
I clench the callous-making strings
And recall the thunder in your walls.
Smokey, Alfie, Jimmy Crucifix, and more
Held down the funkified groove
For the hounds at the gate and
An army of punks and rockers.
The carpet is worn,
The soda machine sold beer,
And my ears ring for joy.
Then, in a nanosecond eternity
A guitar cries in my dream,
A million candles ignite, and …
I pause to inhale one last blast of instant nirvana.
Thank you, Carole Lennon
And all the staff over the years
For the refuge you gave.
An hour or three at a time.
From the small rooms
To the soundstage
To the bones in the hallway.
As you dim the lights
And shut the door,
We salute you.
(Written to mark the closing of Lennon Studios’ hourly space – 1984 to 2020)

And don’t forget … I’ll be performing next Tuesday night at the Octopus Literary Salon.
Hello and thanks for stopping by my website. Here’s a quick update on two projects I’m working on.
1) Breakfast with the Alien — Woohoo! I’m excited to say my collection of quirky short, short stories is almost ready for publication. This project has been a true labor of love. Huge thanks to the many people who’ve given me a hand along the way.
2) Spiral Notebook Project — Double woohoo! It’s been a dream of mine to one day record my music in a professional studio. Well, that dream is about to become reality thanks to the fine folks at Tiny Telephone.
Stay tuned for more information coming soon about both of these projects.
