Adam's Degraaf's quizzical delivery enhances enjoyment of his touching yet ambiguous lyrics. This is a very pretty contrabass-and-guitar art song.

Adam and his brother Jeremy and I sometimes perform as Slo Children.

Recorded live at the DNote Tavern, Arvada, Colorado on September 24, 2005.

In the fall of 2004, I slowed down my automobile to roll down the window for the veteran begging at the streetcorner  He sat on the sidewalk by the curb with his cardboard sign. I wanted to give him something but he did not get up from where he sat.

"Toss it to me, brother!" he yelled as he pointed to ... his missing leg.

This song came to me as I drove home.

Lionel Young is a world-class violinist, be it classical, pop, jazz, blues or whatever. He was very kind to play and sing on this track. His daughter Grace also demonstrates that vocal talent runs in the family!

Recorded at Sawtelle Studio, October 11, 2005, Brian Hunter engineer.

This song I wrote years ago in revulsion at the spread of private prisons especially in my home state of Colorado where they had a persistent advocate in Gov. Bill Owens (1999-2007). A public interest group in Kansas which studies private prisons with an eye to making recommendations to the legislature for their elimination requested I record this song for possible use in a multimedia campaign.

Recorded at Sawtelle Studio, July 14, 2007, Brian Hunter engineer.

The Old Time Colorado Varmitz are based around singer-songwriter Sylvia Murray's heart-touching and belly-laughing songs. Sylvia sings about real life, love, trials, tribulations and and faith.

The tunes are are sort of "Western-not-Country-and".

The lyrics are drawn from a rich store of personal experience.

Rundown River Blues is about hard luck, and Vinny the Ice Cream Man is about hard love - frozen hard!

Enjoy!

Recorded live at the DNote Tavern, Arvada, Colorado in December, 2005.
