about
Sort of a rap-rock tune about building a house.
A few years back i took a break from the music world to build a straw bale house for my family on an island in the Pacific northwest where we live. Up early each morning with a clip board, tool belt and deadlines. It took almost two years to finish and I sometimes thought I'd go nuts but, in the end, it was worth it. Wee call it "Heron House" and though we don't live there any more it's still a big part of us.

There are about a million words to this tune. I am looking for the file right now!
