One day a girl (17 years old I think) showed up at rehearsal for a play in a Korean War -vintage bomber jacket. Someone asked her how she got it, and she simply answered, “A veteran.”

I liked her a lot, very feminine without the girly shit (I at least I believe I’m the male equivalent). I never asked her out because I knew I was leaving town and wanted never to come back, and beside that I think I felt a little special not trying to get into her pants.

This is a great song. It reminded me of a girl I knew in a little town I lived in. She was beautiful and lots of fun, I could have had her but, I’m allergic to pennicilin.
I think you sound more like Jason Falkner or Jellyfish, especially the songs like Shopvac.

I just discovered you a few weeks ago through a “Baby Got Back” link on compfused.com. I have been hooked since. Not to try pegging you to a genre or anything, but I’d say you’re like Kenny Loggins doing Weird Al type songs. I mean that in a good way, you have an excellent voice. I’ve been into folk music lately, and your songs border on that occasionally. You are definitely talented, as your thing a week proves. Thanks for the refreshing creativity, and I hope you get that big contract soon.

I love this, very poignant in a dirty way. Your humour and subject matter makes me think very much of Tom Lehrer. Sometimes rather intelligent, at other times crude and always having time for love songs. And the humour and wit is always sharp. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world. I would buy your CDs but alas I am but a poor student without a credit card.

Aw shucks you guys, thanks.

Daniel, thanks for the pass-along. If Bob and Tom know what’s good for them, they’ll get on this fame train NOW.

Good God man, you are amazing. Why and the world you’re not signed somewhere is beyond me…

Jonathan,
Another poignant and amusing peice. Reminds me of the parties we had in my small town (and some of the girls, too).
Just wanted to let you know I passed your website on to Bob and Tom (they are hosts of a syndicated radio show, you can check them out at http://www.BobandTom.com if you care at all). I’m hoping they’ll play some of your stuff on their show.
Also, I wanted to point out that giving away your music at no charge is like a drug dealer giving out free samples. Once your an addict, you have to come back and eventually you’ll pay. Good policy!
