about

I had just decided to become a stay-at-home dad and I wanted some sort of up-to-that-moment "solo career retrospective" because I had only played gigs and recorded albums with The Loomers for 10 years by that time. So, I set up a show at Club Passim, recorded it and made it into a CD that I could sell at the few gigs I'd be doing. It includes songs from my early solo albums, albums by The Loomers and some songs that I had just written. Little did I know that 1) I wouldn't have much time for solo gigs for a while (kids!) and, 2) The Loomers would end up recording new material over the following years... anyway, it's a good example of a moment in time... Enjoy!
