Is This You?
Yes folks, my opus is finished. It took a Saturn Return's worth of moons to cultivate. Now it's yours and I'm moving on to new work/play. You can buy "Is This You?" at www.foxonahill.com. It will keep you company through the painful passages and challenging obstacles. And on the dream drives and Lake Michigan sunsets. Thank you for being this here.

Welcome Back!
May and I release our new album, "Welcome Back"! We decided to use our old names for this one. The names on our birth certificates, driver's licences, bank statements, etc. May doesn't have a middle name. But she does have a nickname. Daisy! We did the artwork for this album together at our kitchen table and our dear friend John Lindenmayer put it all together.

MASTERING of THIS HERE

Mexico
Traveled to the cloud forests of Chiapas, Mexico with my friends Chris and Jody Treter, the founders of Higher Grounds HERE. I learned a great deal about shared leadership, participatory democracy, ecological agriculture, medicine and music. The whole experience was incredibly deepening and has expanded my world view, warmed my heart and enriched my life and work. Music keeps the chain intact, builds community and connects people. I brought a bunch of guitars that had been donated at fundraisers in Michigan to schools and community centers and met with a group of traditional musicians. Here are some photos from the trip, taken by my friend Chelsea Bay Wills.
Daniel Johnston isn't dead!
I got to play guitar and keyboard with one of my favorite songwriters, Daniel Johnston ! Here's some youtube from the show:
My old friend Brett Hartenbach is Daniel's guitar player and he asked Dominic and I to be a part of the show. That's Brian Muldoon from the Upholsterers ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Upholsterers) and the Muldoons ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Muldoons) on the drums! Too much fun.

Seth's new UNTITLED, UNRECORDED album!
We were all set to start recording on December 14th, 2006, but I fell ill. Our assembly being a large ensemble of independently touring Michigan musicians, it was difficult to reschedule. But we have and we will begin again on Easter Sunday, 2007. In the meantime, HERE are the words to some of the new songs...
