Like a River (Steve Chinske) - Live at the Speakeasy in 1990

This song was written by Steve Chinske in New York City in 1990. I performed it at the Speakeasy on MacDougal St in the Village on May 30, 1990. There's a lot of tape hiss but it's the only recording made. And it also speeds up and down a little... Lovely song!

Families Reunited, Immigration and Refugees in America

Original air date June 30, 2018 | Time 59:00

Today, alll across the United States people are marching. Here's a link to an article in the NY Times: Protests Across U.S. Call for End to Migrant Family Separations

Musicians, and singer songwriters especially, have always played a pivotal role in the conversation on issues both political and personal. Today's music addresses the issue of refugees, immigration and families in very specific references. Paul Simon's "Mother and Child Reunion" is eerily appropriate, along with David Crosby's "Look in Their Eyes" where he reminds us "She's holdng her child the way your mother held you."
