1. Dr. Miller: This song goes out to the inventor of the Miller's Analogy Test. Because my wife failed miserably on this test, she was rejected from every Ph.D. program in clinical psychology she applied to from the University of Wisconsin. We later met in graduate school at the City University of New York (which didn't require this test for admission) and we've been together ever since. Had Harriet passed this test, we'd both be somewhere, but not with each other.
2.
Night Train: I wrote this late at night on the Amtrack
between D.C. and Boston. My brother Higgy, a fine piano and guitar player from Chico, California, does the outstanding guitar
solo.
3. Songs of Home: Written and performed with my friend Mahasen DeSilva. Mahasen, from Sri Lanka, was missing his homeland.
4. Isn't It Funny: To me this song has the feel of being young, in love, and in New York City.
5. 30 Years on the Railroad: I
wrote this retirement song at the beginning of my career--I guess it's a young
man's image of what a 30 year man might experience.
6. Otra
Canción: I wrote this for Harriet's recent birthday. We're both learning Spanish. Thanks to my friend Cuauhtémoc Zaragoza Tapia from Morelia, Mexico, for his help on this one.
7. There Was A Time: The theme song from my first video, Constructing the Multigenerational Family Genogram. You don't need to be interested in psychology or family process to get this song.
8. Morning Light: This is one of my personal favorites, and features the wonderful piano and closing vocal harmony of friend Kelley Hunt, a brilliant musician from Lawrence, Kansas.
9. Vegetables: This is my sons' favorite.
10. Suspicion: This is a recent collaboration with Rick Frydman, a Lawrence musician and songwriter.
