A song that has undeniable resonance, and seemed bedrock A as a song which follows (and alludes to) "Treesexual"...but since that song moved to the end of the concert, this one is forced to stand on its own. Will it survive?

An A-list bedrock. The title is how bart spelled his name. I have no worries about this one playing well outside CA.

I sometimes wonder whether the spark for this song came from an unrecalled memory of a standup comedian from many years ago...the comedic fruit just seems so low-hanging, i CAN'T be the first person to think of it (and indeed, i've learned that South Park has a santa vs. jesus episode that predates my song). But as soon as i wrote this, i knew i had the song which could threaten "Treesexual" as my most-played/covered. The delight it inspires, with requests to hear it again...

This one has garnered some very humbling compliments...a great one for spaces where white artists seldom perform.

The first song to earn me money, as i was invited to be the featured performer at Oakland's Nomadic Press open mic, and made $20 for my effort. My first song which visibly, viscerally affected people. A stunning feeling. It was inspired by a similar song, but with forgettable lyrics. As i pedaled home after an open mic, i hoped i would get there in time to get down all the words in my head.

The only tune from my FL batch of earliest songs which still holds onto a concert slot (but maybe just barely...is that axe swinging?).

A beloved B-lister that couldn't hang on. Some amazing performances...

An A-lister that appears at the end of shows, as a sweet send-off after the finale. The audience is instructed to hug someone they don't know.
The first season looks great, but struggles to find its identity, and feels even less like TREK than Discovery. The glorification of violence is worthy only of that OTHER lame-ass (and disneyfied) franchise...in particular, seven's revenge killing of the romulan sister is shot in such a "money-shot" way that you'd be justified in never watching another second.
Season 2 shows improvement...it finds its identity, and becomes decent storytelling. But still, the spirit of the original vision is gasping for breath, at best.

This one held onto A, then B...i still sometimes think i've made a horrible mistake by dropping it to C oblivion. It had some wonderful performances. But i suppose that's what i knew had to happen, when i said that my goal was to have the songs i throw away be better than the ones others keep.
