Review of Carter IV

To light these tea lights, ritualistically, placing each tiny flame, as though their perfect juxtaposition will make your presence stronger here. Becoming undressed, I long to make love to your memory. Thus truly is a sacredly one sided romance. But,,, …

Musical Caravan
"That thousand year old dead man would have a stiffy right now if his bone were actually a bone." I laughed this instrumentally into the improvised soul songs we played on the ocean's veranda. He played guitar, I played violin, …
