I Don't Need a Miracle - What's the point of religious mythology disconnected from the very visible miracles of life? The germination of a seed, the miracle of love - do we need more than that?
Just One Friend - Northwest coast Indians called the first whites "The Moving People" because they never stopped looking for beaver or gold - whatever could turn a fast buck. Due to our vagabond culture, I have just one remaining friendship from early childhood.
Ain't No Water - Our future is being horribly squandered. America's promise will stay broken until we can have meaningful public discourse on war, terrorism, social justice, and environmental sanity.
Heartbeat - This song thread dates back to 1989 when I first saw Haines from a bus filled with Juneau musicians heading to play for the oil-spill towns after the grounding of the Exxon Valdez. The spectacular beauty really knocked me out.
Busy Makin' Money - A song of war profiteering, double standards, and lies; of complacency, numbness and cynicism; and the real heroes: Cindy Sheehan and the Gold Star Mothers.
Don't Buy the Lie - A fun and unapologetic commentary on the disease of consumption.
Cable is Your Chain - Hey you couch potatoes - this one's for you.
Fade Away - My father died of Alzheimer's. I started writing this family ballad in the Juneau airport, waiting for the snow to lift so that I could get out for a Christmas visit. Back then it was about dad and was a bluegrass tune - imagine that.
www.loser.com - A computer-age take-off of country music heartbreak.
Every Green Thing - Nancy's vegetable garden is situated on the shore of Lynn Canal, tucked into the rocks with a funky fence to keep the porcupines from eating everything. She wrote the vegetable verse and it's true, finding a girl with a garden is worth any price.
Love For All Seasons - Gratitude for a loving relationship done the old-timey way.
Another Fine Day - Leave your automobile and take a walk with us across the tide-flat and through the woods to our house.
War Machine - A well-oiled machine: we've got smart bombs and foolish leaders.
I.T. Blues - Downloading software doesn't get any better than this. Virus and spam protection and much, much more. Yahoo!
