Warned and Loving Me is a Perversion are the most recent.
Free tracks to listen to. Really good musicians, I was lucky to work with them. A selection of recordings here. Up top mostly selected recordings from the last eight years and a few below from before that. Gravity Well is by me and prog rocker Jerry King. My vocals and lyrics. Couple of covers.
Pauline Cushman was a spy for the Republic, embedded amongst the Confederates during the war. She was caught and nearly hung but the invasion of Federal troops intervened. She was forgotten by the US Govt, and died in penury at 60. Are there new Paulines embedded among the NeoConfederates now?
what the hell?

A study published last November in Science confirmed what many observers of digital politics have long suspected: feed algorithms do not merely reflect human hostility. They can amplify it.
