Nine years ago today Tracie and I were wed.

Nine years gone, we are still broke and struggling but we have each other and our girls.

And that’s all we need.

Happy anniversary, Tracie P… I don’t who, what, or how I would be if you weren’t the love of my life… I love you yesterday, today, and forever…

Here are some songs I’ve written for her over the years.

The photo above is one of my favorites, taken on a chilly night in New York City in the greenroom at the Mercury Lounge where my band played to a packed house later in the evening. Bollinger was in our plastic cups. It was February 2009 not long after we had begun dating.
