"NOW YOU ARE 50" compilation

I recently participated in the Joe Jack Talcum tribute album "Now You Are 50".  It was a present for Joe's surprise 50th birthday party.  The album was compiled through the hard work Marshall Fischer and Dan Stevens.

 For a few years now I have had the pleasure of occasionally playing in one of Joe's live backing bands THE POWDERS with Grace Locke Ward, Rachel Feldmann & Kate Kane, and this is the song we did together for the album:

 Joe Jack Talcum is one of the greatest people I have ever met and I am very proud to have been involved in this project.  Download the entire album at the link below:

http://samuellockeward.bandcamp.com/album/suicide-songs 

Recorded over 2002-2003.  Should have been my first full length solo album.  Never got a proper release mostly due to me just not really knowing what to do with it or how to promote it at the time.  
Features playing by: Grace Locke Ward, Ed Gray, Jason Hennesy, Dan Butler, David Luthor, Zach Lint & Paul Clark.  Notable chunk of songs record by Bronson Karaff to reel to reel at the legendary Chicken Coop in IC.
