Rockin' in the mountains

I went to a conference in Snowmass, CO two weeks ago for work. There's a bunch of musicians in the research community, and we put together a little band for the last-night party at the meeting. Seeing as we're all gut researchers, the name of the band was obvious. Ladies and germs, may I present: Andy, Chris, Jeff, Bugs, Cormac, Yours Truly, and the FASEB singers, a.k.a. GI DISTRESS!

A new Song!

Well, after a looong time of procrastination, focusing on work, and assiduous badgering by friends & relatives, I've managed to get some music going again. We're seeing good progress on Dan's album, and a new batch of Squeaky songs are underway.

Morning Pills (click for mp3) is a bit of musing on being ill in the modern West. Dave M., this one's for you, you sick pup.
