Miscellaneous Me
2025
Miscellaneous Me Is a collection of my songs never before released on CD. ...... Singles, demos, a song recorded live in a church in New Orleans, tracks recorded with my old bands, Boys Town and Howlin At The Moon. Songs whose damaged master tapes were digitally resurrected to have a second chance at being heard. As the definition of Miscellaneous goes, this compilation is "a mixture of various things that are not usually connected with each other". It's a chance for this old songwriting troubadour to do a little musical house cleaning as I work on my next recording project.
