Songs of Autumn
In the 1990s I put together a mix-compilation of songs — under the banner of “September” — on something called a cassette tape (and shared it with my friends).
It was a collection of songs driven by mid-life-questioning, wrapped in the colors of autumnal songs — its sad tone and introspective lyrics segued themes of passing time, disillusionment, frustration, confusion, regret, sadness, and loss. Over the years I added and removed songs in pursuit of a perfected image of that elusive mood indigo. In 2011, I brought that project to completion in a 2 CD set.
“There’s a bit of magic in everything/
and then some loss to even things out.”
– Lou Reed

This is the work I do. I write, I make art.
In this case share some music.
I am (not particularly by choice) a "retired" senior citizen. (Maybe I should learn barista tricks.)
Here at the asylum, this is the work they give me so I don't take to the streets yelling "Revolution!"
Beyond my Social Insecurity check at this time I occasionally sell items on eBay, and do little chores for people. (Got job?)
If you appreciate what I do - if you think it is a valuable contribution to the human experiment on the planet - this work - this writing, this art - please consider throwing some bucks my way. I promise you it will all be spent on frivolity and pleasure.
