Gifts and Heirlooms

Yesterday I was given two wonderful items. The first was a handmade, made in the USA, Case pocket knife that I'd been coveting for sometime now. The second was a 98 year old copy of South Sea Tales, by Jack London. I was delighted and honored to have been given both. Not long ago, a friend and I were talking about how we were beginning to appreciate gifts that last -things you keep around forever and eventually pass down to younger generations. These will certainly fall into that category.

The Old Custer EP



A few weeks ago I recorded some songs with my friend Doug (Studio A Photography). Recording was done in the spirit of old jazz records, with one mic and no more than two takes, errors and all. These songs together make up the Old Custer EP.

4 Songs entitled...
1) Old Custer
2) Rebel Yell
3) Garden Party Samba
4) Rainbows (Chris Staples cover)
