Given the current environment, I feel this could be my last opportunity to do a grand song cycle in the spirit of double album favorites. It will be released vinyl-only (with a download) and we are aiming for a Summer 2012 release date. Right now the expenses are all on battered and bruised credit cards and this project can’t move forward without real assistance.
"From fisherman to fish to butcher, the struggle is never ending.
You can put your life down on paper but it’s not the same as swimming."
You can put your life down on paper but it’s not the same as swimming."

Simon Joyner - Ruby Slippers
Check out the innocent kids playing foursquare
under the sour streetlight.
They’re too young to know Judy Garland died in ruby slippers.

Simon Joyner - Sunday Morning Song For Sara
And someone is unrolling the morning paper,
But it’s too early for a bird song to die
I made coffee and toast with avocado and black pepper
Now I’m ready for you to open up your eyes
"Everything old can be sold to pay the rent."
— Simon Joyner (Sunday morning song for Sara)

Simon Joyner - Love is Worth Suffering For
“It’s not a day of worship unless I haven’t got the facts straight.”
Amen.
