Sunbathing in Siberia ( Listen / Lyrics) is that Rush Limbaugh? Sarah Palin? The Ghost of Ken Lay? Glenn Beck? Sunbathing in Siberia? Surfing the waves of the Bering Sea? Basking in the glow of the golden sun, in the soggy no-longer perma-frost? No it's Stephen Colbert in a tux, dancing with Tina Fey.
Dancin' on The Water ( Listen / Lyrics) and In The Garden ( Listen / Lyrics) take you back to the "Summer of Love."
The War of the Wild Goose ( Listen / Lyrics) The "Decider" speaks - and told me to take down the "Listen" link. So I did on account I don't want to go "hunting" with Vice. But then I remembered that they're out of office.
Cloudy Skies ( Listen / Lyrics ) a man who looks up but won't give up. Recently updated.
City of Heroes*( Lyrics ) first performed in the Art Music Coffeehouse in October, 2001, and Gone Now Forever ( Listen / Lyrics) offer some shelter in the storm of Sept. 11.
We Shall Not Be Moved, ( Listen / Lyrics ) the Spiritual used in the Labor and Civil Rights movements, updated for the Clean Energy movement.
We Had the Will, We Found the Way ( Listen / Lyrics) with thanks to Lincoln ( Wiki), Roosevelt (Wiki), and Kennedy (Wiki), looks at who we were and asks who we have become. Asks how did we go from the New Deal, the Four Freedoms, and the Space Program to Katrina and Iraq?
350 Parts of Carbon ( Listen / Lyrics ) an intense blues ballad about love, passion, murder, vengeance, and global warming. It tells the story of a man who lost his girl, gets his gun to "bring to justice the rat who took my girl" and finds a gun is pretty much useless against floods and global warming.
Your Dreams My Love* ( Lyrics ) A trancendent love song, this speaks straight to the heart. It could be a wedding song, but like the films "Life is Beautiful" and "The Notebook" there is a hint of sadness.
Blues For Jerusalem* This is for the Jerusalemites; for the Israelis and the Palestinians; for the Jews, the Moslems, the Christians, and the Buddhists, the Hindus, and the atheist secular humanists.
It's Rainin' Outside The Cave* a love song, a lament of letting "the one" get away.
* Coming Soon
Arlo Guthrie, Joan Baez, Kate McDonnell, Pete Seeger, Steve Forbert, Tom Paxton, Willie Nelson, Dixie Chicks, Greg & Terry, Moonalice, Dan Zanes, Red Molly, Wailin Jennies,The Dirty Urchins, Michael Bluejay, and Friends,
If you want to record these songs, have your people contact my people. Or just call me.
Eminem, Kanye, Seether, this goes for you too, yo. Just dig the tunes, up the beat.
Meanwhile, if you dig the music, download some tunes, pick up a CD. Pay it forward.

And remember. "You can't lead the people if you don't love the people. You can't save the people if you won't serve the people." Cornel West. Or as Gil Scott Heron once said, "San Quentin, not San Clemente."
