sharing the porch

Download: Two Tickets

Well, if Jack White can get away with "My Doorbell", I think I should be allowed to write a song like this without getting too much grief.

The spoken voice sounds like you the whole time.

some activities are lonely by necessity.

What is the text?

These are all notes that either I sent to other people or they sent to me as initial contact emails using the online personals. It would have been interesting to get these people to actually read them on tape for me, but there were two problems with that: one, almost all of them I've never met or have met, and well, it didn't work out; and two, then you'd know what pathetic pick up lines were mine and which weren't. I'm just not willing to tell you which one is which. Really, it's not going to happen. Sorry.

Do you like the online personals?
Yes, because of the hope they encourage.
No, because of the false hope they encourage.

When was the last time you bought two tickets for something you do?
8 days ago

Who is this song dedicated to?
each and every one of us who has wished for something that we don't have and tried to get it. don't ever give up!
