About the instrumentals:
... is after the acupuncture meridian whose partial role, as I understand it, is to aid in maintaining the warmth of the body. This instrumental is in triple meter for the most part (it changes time signatures in the bridge), and is a hot number, hence the name.
One of my early influences was the fiery mandolin/fiddle player Sam Bush, who was playing in the band New Grass Revival. This instrumental is dedicated to him.
... Named for my friend Josh Finlayson who plays in a band called the Skydiggers.

Written while exploring Ashtanga yoga.
Named after a term used in CranioSacral Therapy.
Weaves, changes time, and drives apace.
Written outdoors, one breezy spring day.
This starts with a seemingly traditional blues progression, but quickly changes direction and goes off on a hopeful tangent, before returning to the original blues theme.
Combines influences of Django Reinhardt and Pete Townsend.
A Jungian involution symbol.
