and old live appearence

Crosby Stills Nash and Young playing and singing "Down by the river"

A decidely raw and unreheasred take on this song. I had planned on recording another song but after trying for a while I just wasn't feeling it. So suddenly I had this crazy idea to just play this song   more...with a fan blowing. This is what came out spontaneously.  less

A great song from the Deja Vu album written by Neil Young. My first attempt at 4 part harmonies.

This is a song I wrote in 1977 about an older me reflecting back on my youth and the good times we had centered around the music we listened to back then.

I'd like to dedicate this one to my two closest   more...bros in the world, my cousin Gartel and our mutual best friend Carmando. We all grew up together and misspent our wonderful youth. Laughing, loving, partying and having lots of fun. Carmando and I would jam on guitars a lot back then.

The photo is of me and Carmando circa 1976 (I think) and I remeber that we were sitting on a park bench with the Neil Young Zuma songbook learning those songs together. Come to think of it this song is really my tribute to those great songs of Neil Young. When I wrote this song I had been a Neil Young fan for only 3 years and I had no idea that his songs would still be a very important part of my life in music.

While the music style of this song is very Neil Young and reminiscent of the 70's I think the sentiment is timeless.  less

Arguably one of the best Crosby, Stills and Nash songs ever written and recorded. Requested by Redsonia 13.

My cover of the solo acoustic version inspired by the rendition from Crosby Stills Nash & Young's 4 Way Street live album version.

This song came to me in a dream where I dreamt about the galaxy of stars we are a part of and wondered what meaning our lives have when compared to the enormous galaxy of stars. I concluded that life   more...is very short and finding true love in this life is all that really matters and that Love itself is a beautiful state of mind.  less

A song I just wrote about my little 19 month old daughter.

I had the idea for a song about trying to explain the concept of Hate to my children and this is the song I ended up with. Perhaps the most important song I have written and it's dedicated to my kids.   more...It's a long one but there was so much I had to say to them that I couldn't make it shorter. Unfortunately to meet the YouTube length limit I had to cut out some instrumentals but the song is all there. To hear the full version go here:

I would like to thank Neil Young, John Lennon, Crosby Stills & Nash, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, Bruce Cockburn and Willie Nelson for providing the inspiration and giving me the courage to write a song like this.  less

My first new original song (with lyrics)in over 25 years. This song is about past loves and starts with the questioning after the break up with someone you loved. Then the song moves through the years   more...and wonders "what if" but realizes that can never be again. It's gone for good, so finally the song celebrates the memories of past loves.
I think the theme is universal and has been written about many many times over. I have had the first verse in my head since high school.  less

This song came to me in a dream where I dreamt about the galaxy of stars we are a part of and wondered what meaning our lives have when compared to the enormous galaxy of stars.

mr lip singing

This version adds harmony vocals to the chorus. First song I ever wrote back in 1977.

Original Song.

One of my first experiments with overdubbing. I overdubbed lead guitar parts and additional vocals on this one.

A new song about living life to the fullest and enjoying your moments while you are here.

My acoustic cover of No More from the freedom album. I saw Neil Young do this at a 1990 concert solo acoustic and that is what inspired me to learn this song.
