“Hitch a Ride on a Daydream” – Track 1 from my newly released album ¡Zen y La Fermata! (2024)

Click on the three lines in the embedded YouTube player above to see the menu for the whole album. Love, DAME.

This is a playlist for the new set of tunes. I thrive from donations but lately I have been wanting to give this stuff away, so it’s here for those with no pocket money. You can donate to me to support my art on PayPal at

What would you do if you could stop time?

Nicholson Baker’s book. “Dodgy” but an “unleashing” engagement of the wanton molestation of women caught in time. Novel indeed!! Seriously, this book from the 90’s has been highly entertaining to me! That’s part of my new album/book title: “Zen y La Fermata.” Is there time? That’s gonna be addressed in my upcoming work. While I borrow from Nicholson Baker’s novel, only inspiring parts. Some parts are not right. I’m not borrowing those. His prose is entirely outside of time and touched by angels. I recommend his book (and mine when it’s released).

My new album and book are coming (no pun) lol Summer 2024.

M books and music are free and accept donations.

Love is the Only True High

I wrote this in my early twenties. As I hear the young Buddy Holly bony crooner who was far too afraid of everything I am so thankful for my practice of Buddhism. It is false that live is the only true high but you feel it’s force when you are in love with another person who would rather be with you most of their life I can only marry a Buddhist. Christian girls would find me maddening in a not good way. I wish I was playing gigs. Anybody know a good place?
