Motifs of Perkk
Giving you a glimpse into the malstrom that is my mind, here are a few of the songs that, for what ever reason, I find myself singing or recalling every so often. Some of these are tied to people, places or things. Some are about a a time, feeling, thought or sense. Some, in my very personal opinion, just go well with my bathroom's accoustics (even if I can't remember all the words).

At your own risk, you're invited to also see some of my own Twisted attempts at music writting that are clearly the random mis-firings of my own haphazzard neurons.

Showtunes
When I first moved out on my own, I never thought of myself as someone who is knows anything about showtunes. But my friend Don was a Theater Queen. He began encouraging me to go out to the theater more. I was surpirsed to find how many of the songs were ones that I already knew. They were from the Sunday Matinees I used to watch on TV and from other movies I had seen at the cinema, and listend to on the radio. I had never paused to inventory what I already knew.
