Inevitable Withdrawal

RIP Amy Winehouse

New Song: Sweet Escape

Batten down your buoy and your green breeches
Then tie me a Windsor or an Oysterman’s
We’ll cast off and I’ll hold your heading
While you worry if she’s seaworthy
Is she seaworthy?

We shouldn't have sailed but you didn’t belay
Now the burdened vessel has to give right-of-way
So I trusted you to navigate
But you marooned me in a mirage that fades
Our mirage that fades

I didn’t have the time to see
That your pirates like a quick release
I didn’t have the time to see
That your pirates will just cut me free
Then make their sweet escape

Adrift in your wake when I was capsized
Where I once was wet the girls run dry
I’m washed up, crashed upon your shore
Drowning in your tide no more
In your tide no more

I didn’t have the time to see
That your pirates only catch and release
I didn’t have the time to see
That your pirates will just cut me free
Then make their sweet escape

Lost on your cockpit
I’m a whore for you
Muster the captain
And gather the crew
All hands on deck
Cause I’m bleeding blue
The sharks in the water
Now what will you do?
Will you do?

I didn’t have the time to see
That your pirates like a quick release
I didn’t have the time to see
That your pirates will just cut me free
Then make their sweet escape

(Cause you didn’t have the time to see
That my high's in cutting it free
You didn’t have the time to see
That my high’s in that numb release
My sweet escape)

While I'm on all fours
You'll make your sweet escape

Many CD Thank You's!

I want to personally thank all the AMAZINGLY TALENTED artists who have worked on this communal project. I know I will never be able to thank you enough.

Travis Crotteau for his outstanding musical talent that continually inspires me AND for his generosity of time and space, whom without this project would NOT be alive.

Tyler Dubla for his ever-constant solid foundations that manage to keep us all grounded yet floating freely in the vast firmament. Your ability to groove in the craziest of circumstances is a talent to be cherished.

Ethan Thompson for taking the time to lay some sweettt bass that fits more perfectly than I could have imagined.

Mark Glen for going with the flow and making the songs unique with his acoustic, upright groovin' flavor.

John White for rocking out on the songs that required a true punk edge.

James O'Neill for your flexibility and coming up with a fabulous piano part;

George Ellsworth for your generous time and incredible dedication to making the song work - 'Elephants' could not have been without you. And thank you for your flying fingers on the 'creepy' keys and bowing magic.

Joy Caza for hanging in until the last minute and blowing out something wonderful.

Chris Kelly for adding your manly pipes to the songs that required a little something special.

Joey Aikens, a dear, old friend of mine. Thank you for offering to help when you know I was freaking out. You are beyond sweet! Not to mention coming up with exactly what I was imagining.

Lastly, Nicholas 'Tiberius' Gosen. You have dedicated your talents for months to this project and it is amazing because of you. I cannot thank you enough, friend. Tres Generociones in round! Now, is that everyone?!

To the many artists who created an outfit for the paper doll project that my whim wanted with this CD: Tina Gilbert (Wild Ponies,) Joy Caza (Elephants Can Fly,) Natalia Pierandrei (The Umbrella Waltz,) Kate Jorgensen (Mr. Dick,) Jill Algren (In Eve's Skin,) John White (The Blue Room,) Christine Hoberg (Skinny White Ass.)

Certainly, a generous acknowledgement to my immediate family: John, Bella and Tori. They hid away for many hours so I could record this album here at home. Taking on the task of keeping Sam and Joony quiet. No easy task! You are loved and so very appreciated.

And lastly, to the Blue Plate Fellas, who have taught me much and inspired these songs.

I am honored and delighted that all of the talented folk have taken the time to participate and come together to create this amazing work. It is truly a work of art, both visually and sonically. I am proud to put my name on it and send it off into the world. I couldn't have done this without all of your talented collaboration. Thank you!



Love, Peace, Creativity~
