Composer and performer: Time Was, a collection of original music, enjoyed its CD release party at Club Passim in Cambridge, Mass., with Susan Levine and friends

and is available for purchase or download at

CDBaby, www.cdfreedom.com and elsewhere.

Numerous theatrical settings, yet to be recorded as time and $ permit.

Club Passim, Acton Jazz Cafe, Kendall Square Café, No-Name Coffeehouse and others.

Time Was is a first release of all-original songs. Love lost and found, the Bhagavad Gita, the Tao Te Ching, the Gospels; a tragicomic tour from urban angst through suburban seething to bucolic bliss. With lyrics that are "written with surgical precision", "JT with a PhD".

Also an homage to the obvious youthful influences: the off-center creations of Randy Newman, the intimacy of early James Taylor, and the playfulness of Harry Nilsson. Check it out! www.cdbaby.com/cd/barkhimer
