	Dear Friends, My 2013 CD, Rock and Root,* is a mix of mostly cross-grained songs I’ve written and recorded since 1977. Eighteen tunes (eight new ones) focused on the art of paying attention—to your neighbor, government, planet, self. I’m fortunate to have support from a top flight of New England musicians & singers on various tracks, including Joyce Andersen, Harvey Reid, Cormac McCarthy, Craig Werth, Susie Burke, Mike Rogers, Ellie May Shufro, Barbara London, Jim MacDougall, Leslie Van Berkum, and others. (When you see the cover, you’ll know the foundation’s solid—it’s a shot of a mind-full worker in a Tennessee quarry by Charter Weeks.)CD Baby is now carrying it, along with all its affiliates. But it’s still available at discount right now for $10 (plus $2 packaging and postage), with check made out to:“Rock Weed Music/Publishing” at 133 Mill Rd., North Hampton, NH 03862. (Ten bucks for 78 minutes of music—56 cents a song—can’t go wrong.) “Carbon the Garden” is on it.
