专辑简介

Under blue summer skies, under blue water lies something new: Sophisticated Blues. I once ran for public office as an independent candidate with a "Save the Bay" campaign, and lost. The bay's been losing for years from overfishing, oil spills, toxic waste, neglect and non-stop abuse. But some very interesting folks still live and work here, and because we have a style and a maverick spirit that should be celebrated and shared (some say jailed and forgotten), I built a waterfront studio and started writing and recording songs about life on the bay: the blue summer skies, the neighbor who spikes up a lemonade and sails off to party, the friend who packs up gear and sails off to war. All the plans, mistakes and love made, the end of an intimate relationship, how tough it is stretching paychecks paper thin; it's all happening here, like a lot of other places, but the bay brings it all home. I love this place. There's more peace, comfort, conflict, adventure and memories here than anywhere else I've been. It's time to give back. With great CD sales comes great responsibility. Net profit percentages from "Bay Blues" go towards restoring our good neighbor, the bay. Hear what's here. Music as blue as the water. Style from folks on the shore.
