Welcome to my musical situation. I write 'em, I sing 'em. Some people like 'em. I hope you do too.

perishable language

Perishable Language

Exploring a phrase that emerged from the subconscious.

For those sweet people who told me they liked my songs and wanted to hear more, I promised a website and this is it. Here are songs about all sorts of topics that are not normally fodder for songs.

There is a series of half-hour TV shows called Uncle Jon's Songwagon. These shows and a concert video are carefully situated at the bottom of this page to keep them a safe distance from all the single song pages. Some songs have videos, some don't. Life is not fair.

MORE on UNCLE JON

Below are seven old songs done on banjo and some guitar. My brother Jeeter can be seen in some of these, playing along. These great old songs were brought to me by The New Lost City Ramblers, who learned them from old 78s recording in the 20s and 30s.
