Brick by Brick
Hi, I’m Brick. I’ve been a farm boy, fired choir boy, best boy, and a cowboy. A mechanic, a drunken wreck, a trucker, and a nailer. A baler, a swather, a mother, a father. A Brethren, a preacher, a missionary, a teacher. An Albertan, Victorian, New Yorker, valedictorian. A hoser and a closer, a fisher and a fighter. A painter, a framer, a gamer, and brat tamer. A consultant, a journalist, a heathen, a hedonist. A photographer, biographer, a guard and a center. A monogamist, polyamorist, enveloper and developer. A hunter, biographer, racer, and writer. I’ve lost it all but kept the rest. And finally, I am—and will always be—Brick, and these are my songs. I hope you enjoy them. I value your attention, because your attention is your time, and your time is all you really have.
