I went and listened to your audio you soundclick page and overall, you nearly have a solid disc of material. With the exception of the electronica 'Late for Work' deal, the total of the material makes for a pretty good cohesive release. I hear so many different things going on that are just quite good. From Pink Floyd, to what I said above, to Steely Dan to all kinds of others, it just seems to work. Ever looked at a label?

Thing is, I've been in the music biz for a long time even to the extent of having a small label nationally distributed (if you wanna get screwed..that's where it happens) and my point is that I've heard enough stuff over the years and had to develop an ear for good. Not 'my' good. Honestly, I would suggest that what you dp is not my taste. Doesn't matter, good is good. Think about the label deal. Also, I think Diary of a Spaceman would be very cool with lyrics.


Your very kind Jeff..

I can imagine for the same the same reasons you attribute to me (being all over the map musically) that any lable would never know how to market anyone like me.. there are very few 'anything goes' music formats for promotion.

In fact, I rather feel like the wandering guy without a home.

I was once told I should do one thing and do it well.. but as a musician and songwriter I simply can't. I write what I feel when I feel about what I feel.. like I say, I can't imagine there is any serious lable that would touch me with a ten foot pole.. *sigh*..

But as Jimmy once said 'thats ok, I still got my guitar'.. :)

Appreciate the kind words and sentiments.. made my day!

Peace!
