Parking Karma
"Parking Karma" tells a story about a lucky parking place.
​
Remember those?
​
( Update, May 2021
We have contested parking again! )
In 2019 I set out to record a collection of new songs, all under the rubric of "Parking Karma". Then along came 2020 and blew the project out the window..
​
I've posted some of my "Parking Karma" demos on this page.
Arms to the Sky
I worked driving buses for 18 years. And then I finally got to quit. Oh My God.
Epic Decompression.
​
Loon (The Third Wind)
The lead character in Kim Stanley Robinson's book "Shaman" is a young apprentice Shaman named Loon.
Balanced in the Sun
It was the 4th of July. Somehow I got the idea of walking up the teeter-tooter. Sometimes it seemed that, metaphorically speaking, my life had been an endless hike up one end of a teeter-tooter, and now as I approached the fulcrum, the whole thing was going into motion.

Song of the Open Road
​
​
Walt Whitman's words.
​
I did my best.
The Green Hills of Earth
​
​
Robert A. Heinlein's words.
​
If anyone knows Elon Musk, I want him to hear this one.
The Times They Are A-Changin'
Bob Dylan wrote this song back in 1963. They're still a-changin'...
Slouching Towards Bethlehem
​
Joni Mitchell adapted and set
W. B. Yeats' poem"The Second Coming" to music.​
Here's my version.
​
Morning Beautiful
Pete Nice wrote this song. So dark and so hopeful.
Into the Mystic
I loved this Van Morrison song right from the first time I heard it. Beautiful.
You Are the Air I Breathe
I wrote this song for my wife on a Valentine's Day not so long ago.
Time Vanished (Before I Knew It)
David A. Mason brought me these words, which I set to music. You can also find it on my 8000 Holes page.
Instant Karma
One of my very favorite John Lennon songs. He made a great fast record. I think there may be another definitive version yet to come.
Play My Heart
I wrote this one. I'd like to hear it sung in a Romance language. Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, French, really anything. English is fine, but I have a suspicion...
The Immigrant
Dedicated to my father, Joe Bilich, and his father before him.
Soon to be Fifty Years Too Late
Another 8000 Holes song, written with David A. Mason.
Starshine
I'm still reaching for this one. With any luck I'll find it some day.
Passion Play (When All the Slaves Are Free)
Here's another Joni Mitchell song. I have been in awe of Joni since the very first time I heard her voice.
