Celebrating the summer, a new group of lyrics is now online.   Containing six titles, 18 is out in the world.

The Optimists

by

As the first taste of 18, The Optimists (along with some accompanying lyrics) sets the stage for tales of a summer long ago.   While that introduction makes me sound ancient, these three things are about summer 2001.

Going Through The Updates
