Yesterday I took Diane
out for coffee and told her
I had four problems:

One, everything takes too
much time

Two, nothing goes as
planned

Three, I want too much

and, Four, I don’t seem to
know how to determine
whether I’ve gotten
what I want or not

.

She said, ” ‘Four’ seems to
be your real problem. “

“I Can Never Stay Mad at You”

"I Can Never Stay Mad at You"

Here’s one of the titles of the songs on the album I’m working on. “I Can Never Stay Mad at You.” Having such fun with the calligraphy.

“Annie’s Song”

"Annie's Song"

This week’s free “Song From The Ballroom” is “Annie’s Song” by John Denver. I’ve always loved his music, “Country Roads” and “Rocky Mountain High” being especially burned into my memory. One day a while back I got an e-mail from Rick Rubin which said something like, “How about covering a John Denver song, that one where the title isn’t part of the lyrics?” Took me a minute to figure out what song he was talking about. This is it.

Anyone can receive this track for free for the next couple of weeks by joining my emailing list (Please see link at lower left to sign up). “Songs From the Ballroom” is a series of free unreleased tracks, demos, live versions and rarities just for fans on my e-mail list. It’s been going for awhile now, and I think we’ll keep it going for a few more months at least. I hope you enjoy it.
