The spark of inspiration for Terlingua Taproot stems from conversations I had with a friend – a brassy artist-rancher type - who owns a place on the outskirts of Austin named Terlingua. He challenged some of my writing (something like “this sucks” was said), and that became the splash of cold water I needed at the time. We should all be so blessed to have such an honest friend!

The themes of Terlingua are laden with the paradoxical stuff of life, and I am convinced that one of our purposes is learning to navigate its contradictions - the joy of finding a lover; the disappointments of that same lover; the heat of rage that pushes us to losing control; the guttural laughter experienced in good company. It's a constant task that requires grit, compassion, good friends. . . . and a nice cigar every now and then (wink). As you take in these songs, I hope that you will find resonance and peace on this journey of life as you go. Thank you for listening.
