Songs:

'Cause I Am You.

For years, my favorite song, based on Major 7th chords (my favorite chord!)

Dreams.

So much more can be said in a song.

Eating Persimmon.

the hardest song I ever wrote. It is set to Haiku meter-syllabically 5-7-5, but I had it find a way to make that work with 4/4 musical structure and still terll its story of a relationship, beginninng, middle and end.

Jade Earrings.

The magical properties of a stone can show power as can a song.

Lily.

A song about Lily Bartt, the heroine of Edith Wharton's, House of Mirth. After i wrote this song, I was researching Edith Wharton's life and found that she was a frequent visitor of Vernon Lee, the first owner of Palmerino, who established its expat DNA.

Never Can Be.

Written in a songwriter's workshop organized by Joy Askew.

Oh Andy, Andy!

Written and performed at CHelsea Hotel for a Memorial for Warhohl organized by some of the Factory regulars.

Shabu, Shabu!

song to tease my Japanese friends, who brag about SukiYaki the only Japanese song that ever became Bilboard #1 hit. Shabu, SHabu is about another meal.

Thank YOu, Dorothy Parker.

Another strong New YORK Women who deserves mention. Song doesn't tell about her, but is written with her attitude, (I hope.)

Words!

A song to express the political frustration of scheming, lying elected officials.
