If you think you might enjoy home-recorded piano songs, give my new collection a listen. The songs are rock/pop oriented, and you can read the lyrics and commentary about each song on the BandCamp website. Here's a link to the new album:

Remember this?

"All I want to do is this: I just want to find 11,780 votes, which is one more than we have... Fellas, I need 11,000 votes, give me a break."

Apparently the Georgia GOP doesn't. Yet another sad day for America.

On this BandCamp Friday, check out my album of 4-track recordings from the 1980s. Some of them are rough, but there's variety. You can get an idea of what it sounds like by checking out this track:

If you like folk-tinged guitar songs and want to support me on BandCamp Friday, give my GuitarSongs album a listen.

Another BandCamp Friday is upon us! I have several things on my wish list that I will likely pick up tomorrow.

Last month, I picked up a Sibelius string quartet, an album of French songs called La maison Orpheline and some mesmerizing Iranian music from Jingul.

Trump just designated “Antifa” as a terrorist organization, on par with ISIS and Al Qaeda. As a reminder, “antifa” is short for “antifascist”.

They will use this lie to surveil, imprison, and kill Americans on the left.

This may be our Reichstag Fire moment. Wake up.

In the last week of the 1936 campaign, FDR reminded a massive crowd in Madison Square Garden that "organized money" was "unanimous in their hate for me--and I welcome their hatred!"

And then the country rewarded him with a 523-8 landslide in the electoral college.

This is, in fact, good politics.

Trump's legal team. And what's even better in his eyes that the cheapskate doesn't actually have to pay these guys. The work for him for free.
Nothing but a kangaroo court.

BandCamp Friday is the first Friday of each month. On that day, BandCamp foregoes its share of revenue from music purchases. Artists get more money.

I participate each month. Consider doing so. If you like simple piano rock, try this:

Here's a familiar face for those who were alive during the 1980s. Let's call him Rowdy Wilson Roody.

Reagan is probably the president most responsible for the ongoing decline of the middle class in this country. And he's not the brightest bulb. I'm not sure why the GOP party worships him so.

A sermon on the evils of Christian nationalism:

This 15-minute sermon is worth watching for those who are attempting to understand the dangers of Christian nationalism.

A quote from the sermon:

"The opposite of faith is not doubt, the opposite of faith is control."
