Our Releases
John: "When I was young, I had every intention of writing my own songs, but life got into the way. Until Covid. Since I had nothing I could do, and nowhere to go, I began writing. "In 2025, I went into The Studio Portland with three superb bandmates and fourteen songs. Below are the recordings we’ve released. We’ll release a new one each month!"

"Down the Panamericana tells of my adventures driving the Panamerican Highway from the U. S. to southern Chile in 1970. Much to our parents’ horror, I and three friends left college for a full year of amazing experiences that "grew us" into true adults. It is an homage to the hundreds of Latin Americans who were far kinder than we could have ever expected or deserved. And to my three friends, whom I love and am so grateful are still such a big part of me and my life after 50 years.
"Song For Marinne is a song for my wife, who, if you count the two years we lived together before getting married, has been my soulmate for 47 years. I love you, Marianne!"
"The purpose of My Next Life is to let the Universe know what I’d like to come back as in my next life. If I am fortunate enough to reincarnate as a human, and not a worm o something worse. It’s sort of a letter to Cosmic Santa describing what I want for a Great Cosmic Christmas. I was inspired partly by the lives of Roy Rogers and Dale Evans, who seemed to have had pretty good ones."
