"Drink the Beast With Me"
These ten songs are chapters in what has been a life like any other. I feel fortunate to be able to voice my feelings and stories in such a sing-song way. That's what the kids dig.
With my best friend Daniel Lewis (who also happens to be a first-rate musician and audio engineer) I have engaged in a musical collaboration that has waited far too long. And I am proud of my first solo recording.
The final CD was mastered at Kitchen Mastering in Chapel Hill. You will soon be able to get it at places like Amazon, CDBaby, and the local record jobber near you, provided you're near me. Also, you can order here through PAYPAL ($9.95). In the meantime, please dig the ambiance and don't hesitate to drop me a line.
In the meantime, feel free to read the lyrics here.

Man Against Mauve started on January 1, 1986 and died an agonizingly silent death some time in 1993. In those seven odd years, we played hundreds of gigs, and went into a real live recording studio thrice. The first experience (I Dance/In This City) was, of course, the most magical. Track upon track of late 80's pop noise. Then, the second session yeilded two songs (Diamonds/Money From The Tomb) and more overkill.
Why we never released a record in that time makes me think we were really, really stoopid.
