Water Wheel (downloadable version)
$9.99
A diverse group of acoustic songs, ranging from the jazzy, romantic "Miss You Mornings" and the breezy folk pop of "Shape of a Perfect Heart" and "Speed of Time" through the detailed storytelling of "Wishful Watchful Waiting" and "Where I Raised You" to the wry confessions "I Can't Relax" and "Forgetting on Purpose."
The title track has been lauded by Christine Lavin as a "modern classic" and was covered by her frequent touring partner, Don White, on his CD, Winning Streak.
Recorded by Seth Connelly at Humming Lake Studio in Brookline, New Hampshire, and featuring his upright bass playing on a number of the tracks as well as his poignant, melodic dobro on "Water Wheel." This is the electronic version of the CD -- to buy the physical CD, go to the "store" tab, above.

Borne on These Feet
[3:02]
A song written to convey the excitement of a runner in a race, but more generally reflecting the joy of finding your own way. Seth Connelly's upright bass gives the track a bounce only hinted at when I played the song solo.

Falling From Orbit
[2:42]
My rudimentary mandolin and Seth's far more accomplished bass support this bluegrass-tinged song about one who has lost the center of his (or her) romantic universe.
