It has studio covers of many of the songs on this page.

AND you can but my solo CD at www.cdbaby.com/JakeMichael..

I've done okay with this CD. My song I'm Afraid of Everththing was ranked 13th in the nation in the mp3 accoustic rock charts for about a week, but now it's hovering at 500 to 1000. On Sesame Street made it up to 54th and is also maintaining it's position. I get 100 to 200 hits a month.

Me and my band (a duo actually) are playing around the Philadelphia area.

In case you don't know, I am an accoustic singer/songwriter from the Philadelphia, PA area. They say that I have James Taylor's voice, and Eric Clapton's face.

My influences are Motown, Steely Dan and XTC, and somewhow I ended up playing folk music. I'd like to be X or Husker Du, but I'm not.

The enclosed CD was recorded live at the Mermaid Inn, a great spot for live accoustic music and its a songwriter's hangout to boot.

To see me perform live, check my schedule at my "artist web page" which is called King Platypus. It's part of www.jimbobsjournal.com.

Thanks for stopping by and remember to support your local open mic.

Bye.

	This song was ranked 54th nationally on the mp3 accoustic rock charts only one week after it was posted. If you're burned out on modern pop culture and long for the simplicty of pre-corporate Jim Henson, give this a listen.

	My Grandfather, Clinton "Skinny" Bohnstedt, suffered from depression all his life, although they didn't call it that back then. This is a song about him, and about how you are always connected to your ancestors, no matter what.

	This song is based in Psalm 23, but I had to change it around so much to make it rhyme that sort of eveloed into its own thing.
