Me, talking about my music...
This is one of my very favorite tunes I've written, and it is definitely my favorite original music I've recorded.
From the moment a songwriter realizes that the strange thought he just had a second ago, might be the start of a song- to the day he uploads the finished recording to the Internet, the song takes a very editorializing journey and is refined and sometimes altered along the way. The recording of this song is the closest I've ever gotten to capturing what I heard in my head when I was writing it.

"Oh Mother Night, keep me warm, it won't be long, I'll be comin' home."
Dual reference from Goethe's 'Faust', and Kurt Vonnegut's 'Mother Night'.

Altered tuning: DADGAD
Performing with me here are
Saxophonist/Flautist, Jay Fosha and
Percussionist, Zeke Durrell.
