| Michael's songs tell stories. The title cut, "Secondhand
Story", is a moving account of a blue travel bag he picked
up at a Goodwill store that contained an abandoned letter from
one brother to another. "Jersey Jail" is about a night
he spent in the slammer back in '85 for jumping over a subway
turnstile. "The Pride of Niles-Centerville" is a an
account of the worst game of his life playing little league baseball.
