These are all the songs in the order in which they were originally written, beginning in 1976 with “Requiem for a Fly” and ending with “The Year I Turned 60” in December of 2022. (NOTE: If a song contains fragments from an earlier period augmented by newer lyrics, then I put it in the order of the date the original fragment was created.) This is a different way to navigate because it provides a chronological arc to the songs, and provides a glimpse into my evolution as a person and an artist. NOTE: For those TLDR folks, you can zero in on the my five favorite songs and ignore the rest…
