A beautiful song Jon wrote after facing serious medical issues. Brought me much inspiration when I heard his version on YouTube today... Unbroken Spirit No I never turned back When the fire descended on my soul I never ran away When my heart was burning down Take away the first hello Take away the first hello Never broke me No I never turned back When the fire descended on my soul I never ran away When I knew that I was getting old Never turned back Unbroken spirit of mine Never release ...

Audio recorded direct to camera. Irony don't pay the rent, unless you're Bob Dylan. One his most dryly funny songs, in my opinion. Dear Landlord Dear landlord, Please don't put a price on my soul. My burden is heavy, My dreams are beyond control.

Dear landlord, Please heed these words that I speak. I know you've suffered much, But in this ...

Inspired by one too many strangers smiling at me in a church parking lot, and by a friend's facebook post stating that "Happiness is overrated". A bit of a throwaway musically, but...

That's just too damned happy. That's just too damned tragic That's just too damned bad. You put your faith in magic You'll lose all ...

My goodest friend Tom ( www.youtube.com ) in Chicago recorded this classic Jerry Jeff Walker song. I added backing vocals and bass guitar (I start about 55 seconds in) to make it even gooder than it already was. We hope you like it. (Comments on my amazing bass playing skills (hear it there in the left channel?) will be especially appreciated). Paul
