al & dave's american songbook
turns out we've been collaborating on this work for nearly a decade.
it all started when david gave me a short collection of his poems, two of those became songs that landed on my 2003 compilation called SKYSCRAPER.
david then gave me a stack of his poetry, and over time some
eighteen songs have come forth.
the photo above is where i work on creating the songs.
currently working on recording this body of work

gospel de louisiane
in louisiana, legislation was devised to allow concealed firearms in churches.anyone with a proper permit could have carried prior to this legislation,
thus accenting a politic of fear and division,
slowly evaporating faith in
peace and love.
