All of my early songs - 7 different collections - were demoed on a Tascam 4-track cassette deck. When that treasured machine finally broke down, I was a bit upset, because 8 is my lucky number and I'd figured the next one was bound to be my best. So I continued to write but didn't record for years. When I finally decided to take a winter off to learn GarageBand, I shocked myself by discovering 72 compositions awaited  (73 if you count an instrumental  not  included here). "The Never-Ending 8" could probably be thought of as my "NYC / Martha's Vineyard Songs". These five connected-but-distinct albums are now available to everyone .
