Hello. I'm Nick Powers. I taught myself how to play piano when I was 8 and have been writing songs ever since. I cannot read music, but I figured out the complete instrumentation to theDuckTales theme song when I was 13 and tracked it on my Yamaha PSS-790 (BEST. KEYBOARD. EVER.)
I grew up listening to Ray Charles, Beethoven, and Jimmy Cliff. I also absolutely loved the music in West Side Story and Mary Poppins. I never really listened to that much music in my teens, but, through friends, there were a handful of acts who blew my mind: Jets To Brazil, E-40, Superdrag and The Get Up Kids, in particular. I suppose if you crushed all of the above in a trash compactor you'd hear my band. Or maybe I can't tell what my own band sounds like.
I grew up a Dungeons & Dragons nerd on welfare with a single mom in Crockett, CA. My dad was in prison when I was young. My mom was a cleaning lady and worked at one family's house for a whole summer to buy me a real piano. I live in Richmond, CA with my wife and almost-three-year-old daughter.
All I think I'm trying to do with my music is tell a story. I grew up in an out-of-the-way, dying factory town. More people than you realize did the same thing. We all do shitty drugs. We all wear the wrong clothes. We all listen to the wrong music. We all feel a little funny at fancy restaurants. And then, in a fucked up twist, we all feel like we have to act disinterested to protect ourselves from ridicule. In my mind, this is the soundtrack to that shit.

Edith ''Edie'' Thacher Dane
Edith "Edie" Thacher Dane, 89, died Sunday, June 23, 2002 at the home of her daughter in San Jose, Calif. She was born May 4, 1913 in Ojai on the campus of The Thacher Preparatory Boys School, where her father, William Larned Thacher, was associate head master and her uncle, Sherman Day Thacher, was head master.
She attended Vassar College in New York, and married and settled in Sierra Madre, Calif., where her mother, Hilda Blumer Thacher, was born. Her maturnal grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. John George Blumer, were of the original group of residents of Sierra Madre when they arrived in 1886.
Ms. Dane lived in Sierra Madre for more than 60 years and was an active and dedicated volunteer in her community throughout her adult life. She received numerous honors and awards for her service in the areas of early childhood developpment, the "War on Poverty," and a variety of human rights and social justice initiatives. She was active in the Democratic Party and, in her later years, was active in efforts to preserve the hillside of her hometown. As a social activist, she was committed to the health and well-being of all members of society and to her local communities of Sierra Madre, and surrounding Pasadena-area cities.
She is survived by her children, Bill Dane of Albany, Calif., Frank Dane of Forestville, Calif., and Nancy Dane Peña of San Jose, Calif.; Bill's wife, daughter-in-law Nancy Dulberg; seven grandchildren; two great-granddaughters; and several cousins and in-laws.

U.S.A.! ..U.S.A.!:
No mention of socialism:
The political and economic theory of social organization that advocates that the means of production, distribution, exchange, and profit-use be democratically owned, controlled, regulated, and 'board-of-directored' by the workers and the entire community.
In our gross capitalist-plutocracy.. our 'so-called' democracy
We do have people working with intelligence and energy for us all:
I know:
This mind-body-chem thing is very amazing
A piece of my chem:

Engaged calm-pleasured-joyful-ecstatic

I asked for a UCSF consult - BiPolar2 ?
"You're fine, Bill. Take your Celexa."
I read:
'If you have no more tears left to weep,
then don't weep. . Laugh.'
Amos Oz "A Tale Of Love And Darkness"
I hear:
If you're worried about it
Eat in the middle
Don't scrape the sides
'Fictitious' email I sent in a context of it's own:
our Paul ... assassinated
for simply pointing out that
our USA is responsible for 1000s of times more deaths
than this Bin Laden is
and just in the past 20 years
and our Paul tried to explain
the realities which motivate these 'terrorists'
our Paul didn't stand a chance
...follow the middle east-money-oil-religions etc
nasty complex survival shit-pile of human-natures
