Retrospective of my musical career now on Spotify
If there is one question most frequently asked of songwriters it is to pick the song from their catalog they are most fond of. The answer that follows tends to be a cliche, comparing the act to that of picking a favorite child. Not that I’m one to judge as I’ve used that line on multiple occasions. Truthfully though, these songs are less like children and more like that favorite t shirt you let get so full of holes before finally retiring it. For me these songs are the stories that add up to my “life so far”. I count the songs on this list as defining moments, either in my personal life, or in the forward momentum of my career. I wouldn’t read too much into what was chosen or left off this list. This is merely a curation for the moment at hand. Revisiting these recordings after so many years was certainly an exercise in nostalgia, like running into an old friend at a bar and feeling like you had never missed a beat. I’ve done my best to share stories about the songs and what inspired their creation. Without question there will be long-time fans protesting what did or did not make this list, but you can take it for what it is. A snapshot of a person in process.
