Being so moved by the events of September 11, 2001. I needed to express my feelings about that fateful day in song. Although it has been more than a decade, my memories of that day and the history that followed are strong and clear.
I wrote the following song “Pandora’s Box” as a warning to the future just as much as a memory of the past.

Pandora’s Box (click to listen)
Bottles in ice toasting higher places
Blacked out rooftops are included with such.
Weapons of war rise among the towers
Pandora’s Box has now been touched
Burning bridges across the water
Tanks roll there’s trouble along the way
I see the sky’s on fire
Night it seems has turned to day
Basement dwellings amid the thunder
Highlights low tones savor it all
Blinding battles in spite of the weather
Win or lose who can recall
