over the course of this past summer, i went into the studio with my good friend eric bower and recorded some new deconstructions of songs i've been playing in my solo acoustic shows over the last few years. i had no plan of what songs i'd do at first, instead just showing up at the studio and playing whatever i felt like that day. it was relaxed and fun, and in the little time we had we put together this group of songs. some I wrote with friends years ago, some were recorded the day written, you may recognize others if you know my band. a ritual dance and a lover's plea. -eric13
