  • In recent years, whenever I've decided to press some CDs of new music for sale and promotional purposes, some joker has thought he was being really clever in saying, "Nice coasters!"

    Well, because I'm perverse that way, I decided to just lean into the whole coaster thing. For just $7 (including shipping), you will get a wooden coaster featuring one of my varied, unique, and strange collage designs. These coasters not only look great, but they do the job for which they were designed! The artwork is sealed in acrylic so it won't be disturbed by condensation from you drink, and the coasters have nice little rubber feet to protect your furniture.

    Plus, each coaster comes with a unique code (crossed out in sample picture) that will allow you to download my new EP, "Trying to Remember a Dream", in any format you choose and/or stream it for free on Bandcamp or using the Bandcamp app.

    Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee you will get the design of your choice, and I am making new ones all the time. However, if there is a particular one you like, feel free to include a description in the notes of your order and if it's still available, I'll make sure you get it!

about

I sometimes write songs about dogs I've known. One for Willie and Loretta has been long overdue. They're what you'd call a "bonded pair" and quite the inspiration for how two very different personalities can compliment one another.

lyrics

Loretta lifts her head up, meets his
eyes with her own brown pools of true love
Willie lies in bed and offers
up himself to any and all comers
And they make quite a pair, like Ginger and Fred Astaire
Their connection is oh-so rare, and true
Girl, just like me and you

Willie wants what he wants, and when he wants it,
he will surely find a way
Loretta’s easy to please, but still she
needs to know that she is well protected
They’re so different in so many ways, but through
all the days and nights, they stick like glue
just like you and I do

She can sometimes be a bully, and
He can bark at the moon
But they love each other fully, and
Every day is somehow like a cartoon

Loretta soaks up the sun, she loves its
warm embrace on her face, and when that's done
she might go for a run, then take a
nap and dream and play it all back again
WIllie's sly as he seems, he can go to extremes, but
Sure 'nuff, he's as sweet as sugar cane
And soft summer rain

Willie and Loretta
It doesn't get any better
Gonna stick together
Like Willie and Loretta
