December had its ups and downs as you will see. As part of my open-mic therapy tour, I signed up for spots at two Boston area clubs: The Lizard Lounge in Cambridge; and The Burren in Somerville.

I don’t have a chimney but still…. Actually this started out as another song “Please Mr. Squirrel, Don’t Eat All My Granola” but I was asked to contribute a song… Read more →
