Songs

Three sound files include tunes from my Wisconsin Irish Band, The Magees (Jon Shea, Nick Hoen). Five years playing with Jon and Nick remains a warm and satisfying memory.

Song one: Road to Erogie

The following four songs I’ve been writing with Russell Thorburn as we build a collection of songs about rock legends. These back stories reveal stage fright, tender moments on the beach and the unmitigated grief of suicide.

John Lennon haunts with demolition chords; Levon Helm deals with a lifetime of suicide grief attempting to turn back the clock; Rick Danko’s stage fright forces him to borrow a coat and flee into a cold Ontario night.

Samples are single takes recorded on a cellphone; it’s the lyrics that speak in these songs, not necessarily musical talent.

Dylan Thomas is the subject of song four.

Song one: Silver Beatle Come Back (John Lennon)
