Greetings in this New Year, one and all. Here’s to our better angels
and a fairer shake for every member of the Human Family.
Politicians and polarizers, kindly take this to heart and not to self-interest.
It's a big blue vessel we're all riding on - together.
When it comes cool cats, Lisbon, Portugal is right up there. How about this one (at least 75 feet tall by my estimation) made completely out of parts of plastic garbage receptacles (with construction worker hats for eyes!)??
A ten-minute walk from the amazing Oceanario de Lisbon revealed this skyscraper-dwarfing feline a few days before Christmas.

What do these two new CDs have in common?

The closing song is the same on both, Until We Meet Again by yours truly.

On January 31st Germany’s Stockfisch Records at last releases
Meet You Where You Are*, my 15th studio recording (and fourth on this European label. They’ve done another amazing job with my songs (and one by the late great Phil Ochs). The other version? The Irish trio Iontach on their new CD Cuan. I wrote Until… in an Irish pub on my first trip over there in 2014. This is a great honor, and they do a sparkling version that would make any songwriter proud. Thank you Jens, Siobhan, and Nick!
* for a copy a check made out to David Roth and sent to
PO BOX 495 ~ Orleans, MA 02653 will do the trick.
$20 postpaid ~ danke!
