A writer must “know and have an ever-present consciousness that this world is a world of fools and rogues… tormented with envy, consumed with vanity; selfish, false, cruel, cursed with illusions… He should free himself of all doctrines, theories, etiquettes, politics…” —Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914?). “The nobility of the writer's occupation lies in resisting oppression, thus in accepting isolation” —Albert Camus (1913-1960). “What are you gonna do” —Bertha Brown (1895-1987).

Listen to most of my son's album here, beginning with "Solo So Long." (Unfortunately, his song, "Broken Girl," can be heard on YouTube and not here). All songs were written and performed by Geoff Brown, except "Hot Zombie Woman" was written by Geoff Brown and Tim Muldoon. Lindsay Drecoll Brown played piano on "Solo So Long"; Dan Stock played piano on "Turn on Slowly." The album was recorded in 2014.
