This evening, as I soaked in the hot tub outside, a thought crossed my mind, "This hot water feels so good. Why?" I then thought about people who like to get into a warm bath, turn down the lights and perhaps light a small candle, and they let the moment sooth their body and their [...]

Walking On Earth
onWe’ve had 11 so-called atmospheric rivers this winter. Being in a severe drought, with many dry wells around us, the rain is a blessing. On the mountains, new records of total snowfall are about to be set. Still, the constant rain can get a fella sort of itchy to get moving outside. Yet, still recovering [...]

Again
on(De Nouveau) I've Done It Again - not mixed yet by gary a. mcmahon on #SoundCloud https://soundcloud.com/user-359965116/de-nouveau-ive-done-it-again-not-mixed-yet Wrote this a few years ago. Recorded again and moved it away from its original bluegrass sound to this sound. It probably took me fifty attempts to get the vocals down. Kept thinking of that line from Ringo's [...]
Miraculous
onThe first blossom. On the Pluot tree. As I grow old, each new spring feels even more miraculous. Life is miraculous.
