This is the second in a series of albums that are autobiographical. This mostly covers the period 1989 to 1996. I do this not so much to tell my story but also tell the stories of others who have shared their lives with me. This is a limited edition of 1,000 CDs. Please do not make copies or upload to SoundCloud, YouTube, etc. Think small. Ubiquity is overrated.

Lyrics
Father Sons and Brothers
Father sons and brothers
each of us
all of us
everyone
Father sons and brothers
each of us
all of us
everyone
A young man filled with pride and vanity
feeling like I must always compete
took me way too long to understand
this in my heart
Every man is someone’s father brother or son
Live by this
you will be
infinitely less an asshole
Father sons and brothers
each of us
all of us
everyone
Father sons and brothers
each of us
all of us
everyone
Help me reach across the chasm
help me hear the signal in the noise
help me put aside
all my pettiness and ego
Every man is someone’s father
brother or son
Live by this
you will be
infinitely less an asshole
Solo
Father sons and brothers
each of us
all of us
everyone
Father sons and brothers
each of us
all of us
everyone
