“Two sisters” is a traditional murder ballad dating back to at least the mid 17th century. I learned this over the summer from a new friend I met in Maine. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.

I wrote a song last weekend for WXPN’s 24-hour songwriting challenge in Philly. The prompt was “belong”. My interpretation drove me to political commentary. I thought folks here would enjoy. Check it out!

It's absolutely bonkers what's happened in just a couple of weeks.
Please don't forget that outside of the craziness is a great big world of resplendent beauty. There are kind people trying to do good things.
Take the time & remind yourself why you fight every day.
