about

Hey everyone,

This is a 21 minute solo acoustic backyard performance performed to no one & recorded in the high heat of last summer at dusk.

If you don't like katydids, this is not for you. Every summer, they own my backyard, communicating to one another in a reedy hum, loud and louder. They're some of the coolest bugs. They change colors and sounds. They remind me of ZZ Top, but that's another story. There's 5 songs here in one track.

These songs are very different than on my albums, so I hope you like them. I also included a song by Kinky Friedman, which is one of the most beautiful and empathetic songs I've ever heard. It doesn't reveal itself all at once, so give it some time. Or find his version.

This is not mastered, so it's quiet. I thought nature sounded better without compression.

Songs included:
Time the Teacher
Kiss A Love Goodbye
I Watched You Pray
Woodpecker
Wild Man of Borneo (Kinky Friedman song)
