Sunshine Boy – I wrote this in celebration of Fathers and Sons in particular and of Parenthood in general.
Krankenhaus Blues – Krankenhaus is a German word which translates in English to Hospital. The song is meant to be a humorous look at being in hospital from a patient’s point of view.
Madeline Jane (Crass/Davidson) – This is the title track of the Album. It’s a romantic love song.

Moya's Polka – This tune is an Irish Polka I wrote for my Sister.
Scalloway – There is an old theme in many a-song. It tells of boy leaving girl in search of greener pastures only to find that the pastures were not greener. Boy then laments the loss of his love. This song is written in a Scottish style. Scalloway is a town in the Shetland Islands.
