Details:
I am very proud of this album as it brings together many different aspects of my musical training. Much of the music is steeped in the blues traditions of Bessie Smith, Georgia White, Meade Lux Lewis, and many more.
My classical training came in handy on "Nocturne for Harmonica" and "A Song For Lisa". Also, "Beethoven Boogie" brought in a lot of my classical chops.
There is humor in this album. I am very proud of my chipmunk chorus in "Suicidal Animals". Also, "Little Fishes" has been quite popular when I''ve performed at various festivals and stages.
My personal favorite is "A Song For Lisa". This song was written for a friend of mine, Lisa, who had lost her God son in an automobile accident. In my song writing, especially if it is of a "deeper" nature, I don''t like to directly name the subject of the song. I like to create images that evoke this atmosphere. I feel I have done this in this song. The cello was a last minute addition which now seems absolutely essential.
I hope this album takes you through an emotional experience. Weaving the great variety and diversity of these songs together into one album was quite a chore. I believe it works.
