GREAT IS THE ENEMY OF GOOD

The Dirtsmith Single! Push the Wheel / Shake For Me Girl

Dirtsmith, March 19, 2024March 19, 2024

Here it is! The Dirtsmith “single!” It’s still just a demo, but it’s the first thing I’ve ever recorded in a real studio! (In Spain!!!)

Singles used to be an “A” side and a “B” side.

The “A” side for this single is “Push the Wheel.”

It’s not the “better” of the two songs either musically or as a recording, but I wrote it within the past year and it is far more meaningful (to me)

[Special note to American listeners – play this song when you are fed up with your terrible job and need something to push you over the edge].

The “B” side is “Shake for me Girl.” It’s the closest thing I’ve ever had to a “hit!” It will probably be the more popular song of the two. It kicks ass and you might even get lucky if you play it! But, it’s a young person’s song – it’s twenty years old. And the message isn’t as meaningful to me. But no less fun!

Please keep in mind that this is not “Album Quality.” It’s sort of a proof of concept demo. But I hope you enjoy! 🙂

[And for anyone who missed the teaser demo “Music Video,” here it is!]

A rough demo. This was the public debut of my original song In the Country (Lowlife/Highlife). The presentation is humorous but I snuck in some commentary. The Daily Stone

Iphigenia in Aulis

March 4, 2024March 4, 2024

Iphigenia If You Imagine Yourself Unblemished By Failure… …I invite you to try your hand at parenting. I’ve been going through a really challenging and bewildering episode with my daughter and her mother. Too challenging to try to explain, and too bewildering (and entirely too vague) for me to comprehend….

A Hill High Enough – A Song of Protest

October 14, 2023November 2, 2023

A Hill High Enough I am apolitical (I believe all politics is a futile waste of life and energy at this point), and to preserve my own mental health I no longer follow the “news.” But the big stuff filters through. A Hill High Enough is a song that attempts…
