This segment is the first part of 'Wide Open'.  Lyrics are here.  Listen here to all of 'Wide Open'.

The video is my contribution to a collaboration with producer Robert Kramer at Rainbow Babies & Childrens' Hospital, where I regularly perform for pediatric patients and their families both live and by closed circuit TV.  Robert suggested we combine scenes from my band's live show with my storytelling in a 'meet the artist' format.

Most of the available footage was from a stationary camera.  When I zoomed in to vary the perspective, I liked the graininess of the close ups.  So I decided to go for the black and white, jittery look of old footage.  Think CBGBs in the 70s.
