THIS BOY WALKS INTO MY HOUSE
AND HE TELLS ME THAT I’M GOING CRAZY
HE SAYS ONLY HE HAS THE KEY
AND HE TELLS ME HE KNOWS HOW TO SAVE ME
I SHOW HIM THE DOOR I GIVE HIM THE BOOT
CAUSE HE DOESN’T OWN ME
ALL OF A SUDDEN HE’S LOOKIN’ REAL CUTE
AND I WONDER WHAT HE CAME TO SHOW ME

Michele Brourman: Fools and Little Children

Leave a Comment 

First of all, in the interest of full disclosure – I must tell you that Michele is my sister. I am also a co-writer on one of the songs on this album, so my objectivity is limited. None of that is relevant. I am in awe of her artistic achievement. I was adding the album to my digital music library, and when it came time to tag its genre, I was stumped.

Crimes Of Passion

Abusive relationships, sadly, exist everywhere. Love can turn into something very different given the toxic recipe of passion, insecurity, and rage.

I hope that this song may be encouraging to someone who can relate to this woman’s plight.

But my mother warned me about boys like you. First thing you know you’ll be soaping me up. Then where’ll we be?” It was a beautiful early April day in Los Angeles; just slightly brisk at eight a.m., and the smog hadn’t had a chance to roll into the hills yet. The freak... [Read the full story]

C, Eb and G Walk Into a Bar…

7 Comments 

C, E-flat and G go into a bar. The bartender says, “sorry, but we don’t serve minors.” So E-flat leaves, and C and G have an open fifth between them. After a few drinks, the fifth is diminished and G is out flat. F comes in and tries to augment the situation, but is not sharp enough. D comes in and heads for the bathroom saying, “Excuse me. I’ll just be a second.” Then A comes in, but the bartender is not convinced that this relative of C is not a minor. Then the bartender notices B-flat... [Read the full story]

My first Web Pick for our new site is Windy Wagner at www.windywagner.com.

About a year or so ago I wanted to update a couple of older songs I had written with Artie Wayne and Molly Ann Leikin. Molly gave me Windy’s name and what a joy to work with. She was fast, nice, professional and has a terrific voice! You can hear what she did for me here. Windy’s worked with some amazing people. Here are just a few: [Read the full story]
