Drunk Uncle Johnny

singing about socks with holes--

no one sleeps tonight


This was inspired by Liz Phair's Uncle Alvarez and based on a true event from my childhood. Rest in peace Uncle John.

Please check out Alyson Smith's Clouds Across the Moon. Alyson inspired me to embark on this journey.

Finally realizing I need to start acting like the main character in my own life. Writing helps me figure out where I keep losing the plot and giving away my spotlight. My story is a big mix of drama, comedy, tragedy, thriller, and, horror.
