I've been lurking here for a few months. I very much like it here. The phrase "coffee & hubski" has made its way into the lexicon of my household.

I've finally worked up the nerve to contribute.

I'm an indie recording artist / multi-instrumentalist from the Virginia boonies in the U.S. I live and work in a small home studio nestled between the main stem of the Shenandoah River and the western slope of the Blue Ridge Mountains. When I'm not wrestling my imagination into music - I'm usually tread-milling the Appalachian Trail with my Australian Shepherd, Sundance (who can be seen in the video).

This song/video is fairly representative of what I do. I'm settling in to the rhythms of autumn with the hope of recording a new batch of songs - and this is the first of that batch.

Thanks for listening.

Lyrics:

Hey there wonderful

hope you are well

I was just thinking 'bout you

nothing to tell

you can hit me back

if you are so inclined

but don't feel obligated

I'm doing fine

The thought it did occur to me

that it's been a while

and you should know

the thought of you

it brings me a smile

you can hit me back

if you are so inclined

but don't feel obligated

I'm doing fine

Please tell you know who

that I send my hellos

and pass my regards

to the friends we both know

you can hit me back

if you are so inclined

but don't feel obligated

I'm doing fine

Smooches + Toodles = Smoodles! Yanno

Smoodles to you baby

but I gotta go

Smoodles to you wonderful

I gotta go

Smoodles to you wonderful

XXOO
