Baskets

i have been writing a lot of songs on the acoustic in the last couple of months. I don't know what the next recordings will be at this point - but there is a good chance parts of it will be extremely stripped much like this. Enjoy Baskets... feedback welcome.







Baskets

We started out simple
I loved when you smiled
You loved when I sang
And maybe it was us we were fooling
we thought there was nothing
That would get in our way
But slowly we built up our worries
We stacked them between us
hoped they'd go away
now sometimes I wonder where you are
I used to know that every
second of the day

It seems that we cant find a way
To take us as simple as we came
Did we make it so complicated
that we couldnt be together anymore

I wish we could take all our worries
and put them in baskets
and wash them away
I wish we could still have those moments
Where nothing else matters
Besides you and me

It seems that we cant find a way
To take us as simple as we came
Did we make it so complicated
that we couldnt be together anymore

I will always wish the best for you
I will always wish the best for you
Even when its years since youve gone
I will always wish the best for you
I will always wish the best for you
Even when youre out on your own

I will always wish the best for you
I will always wish the best for you
Even when we dont speak for months
I will always wish the best for you
I will always wish the best for you
Even when new lovers come

I wish we could take all our worries
and put them in baskets
and wash them away

Union Mine High School : Vote Sean & Luke

As a Union Mine High School Alumni - I have a strong connection with my alma mater and there is an important vote coming up... the only one that really really matters is for the Rally Commissioners.

And really, my good buddies Sean and Luke are the only real choice for the Rally Commissioners. Because they are educated in the art of the Theater Arts and Dramatic Improvisation (which I can vouch for) they know know to entertain the masses. Plus they look sharp in those ties and glasses. VOTE SEAN AND LUKE.

Jon and Marlana ruin all my photos during recording

A Crazy 4 Days

This photo of me miniature golfing has nothing to do with the last four days but shows my love for the sport (though it often leaves me frustrated).






Highlights from last weeks touring include but are not limited to:

Wednesday : Santa Clara University
- the entire crowd singing "Jumper" by Third Eye Blind
- playing for a crazy fun audience. the clapping during morgan the conqueror was ridiculous

Thursday : in San Luis Obispo
- woke up at 7am to leave Monterey and get the crew to Cal Poly San Luis Obispo for an 11 am show.
- Hung out at Avila Beach during the day
-played Churro St. at the Farmer's Market. It was a little cold...
- drove back to Sacramento that night thinking we would be on Fox 40 the next morning.

Friday :
- 5:30 am : get a call that we are not on playing on TV at 8am which is good because I really needed sleep.
- Amazing Show Friday night with Matt Masih and Still Time. We had 250+ in Marilyn's on K
- There will be some video from this show posted very soon!

Saturday :
- House Concert in Sacramento



Goodness... with the combination of 5 shows, lots of driving, lack of sleep and not enough vocal rest... it was a long 4 days.
