about

My final single of 2020 embodies my best wishes for us all during this uniquely challenging time we’re living through. It feels to me like a loving kindness meditation wrapped in a pop song.

It was first written and recorded by singer songwriter Scott Fagan in the mid 70’s and appears on his album Many Sunny Places, the vinyl of which I have worn through! The vocal phrasing on the verses has some lovely spaces, they breathe in a really unique way you don’t normally hear in a folk or pop song. And are really fun to sing. Shout out to Chris Malcarney from The Donuts, who often seems to be an unlikely muse for me, for turning me on to Scott Fagan a few years back. He knows I like a good crooner.

A very welcome highlight for me this year was the blessing of a talented new collaborator in Brazilian multi-instrumentalist/producer/engineer/guitarist extraordinaire Thales Posella! This is the first fruit of our remote labors. And long time collaborator and lap steel madman Mike “Slo-Mo” Brenner also joined in on the remote recording party from Fishtown, Philadelphia.

In Scott Fagan’s words, and now in my voice….

Please Be Well, Please Be Kind, Please Stay Healthy & Happy
