about

I had the honour of playing before Daniel J on a stage in Seattle's Bumbershoot festival. We hung out for about three minutes and I truly felt the joy of being in the presence of greatness.
I recorded this a few years ago before he passed away. I was teaching it to a bunch of kids and I recorded a version to send them for their parts. I meant to work on it further but I forgot about it. Anyway, it's fine. What a song, what an artist was Daniel!

lyrics

I'm getting closer to the fact
I've turned my back on silly dreams
I'm walking down that lonely road
And my heavy load
I didn't bother to bring it
And the sun shines down on me
I feel like I deserve it
When the sun shines down

I'm hiding out where you can't see
Behind a wall
In the back of the room
I'm crawling slowly through the dark
And feeling for a punchline
And the sun shines down on me
I want to feel like I deserve it
When the sun shine down

I'm walking down that empty road
But it ain't empty now
Because I'm on it
And I'm getting closer to a hope
That I can carry and take home with me
When the sun shines down on me
I feel like I have to earn it
When the sun shines down

I have been releasing records since 1999. The internet has freed things up considerably. I do like it for that.
