Songs

My song catalog consists of work written with many different collaborators. Only a couple are studio produced, most are DEMOS only.

While a handful are being held by the artist for eventual recording and performance, most of these songs are available to be performed, or recorded, or even placed in media presentations. All rights are strictly reserved and permission must be granted.

Nothing is available for download here at my site. Some may be downloadable at my Soundclick site (see the links box), and the only one commercially available is “Atlantic City” at Jordan’s site (click on his name below). At the top of the page, you can get a pop-up jukebox which will play all the songs on the page.

If you click the “Listen” icon, you will get a pop up to hear the song -- if you click on the song title you will be directed to a page where you can read the lyrics while you listen and get some background on the song (a much better option, since the lyric is my contribution!).
