Thirty-eight songs, written between January 2008 and present, made it to demo CD's and are available in small quanities--a venture somewhat completed, at least part of it.

Twenty-one of the songs make up Richard Neil Volumes I and II, "Padded Walls."  17 songs comprise Richard Neil Volumes III & IV, "Chronological Order & Disorder." 

Perhaps before too much time passes, an attempt will be made to produce a polished recording of some songs. Whether those takes will become reality is in question. In the meantime (which may be a long time), songs--as is--are available, on a permission basis, of course. Please remember, the recording is about the roughest form possible--one guy, an acoustic guitar, and a shoe box size recorder. It takes a listener who can hear between notes and then some.

A new book remains a possibility. An idea and general concept exists as well as does a title, given years ago as from Above by Mother and recommended and approved since by an almost as qualified and respected adviser. A small chapter rough draft like thing even reached completion in a plush deserted rail car rocking into frigid Zurich. Would like to do it this fall and winter but it must happen fast.

As for more songs--hopefully and probably.  May be a true addiction of some form or another.
