Welcome to songwriter Vernam Cipher's home on the web,
a place to revel in the glorious variety of 20th Century music: rock ‘n’ roll, honky tonk, soul, pop, and more.

Thanks for visiting CIPHERDOM, the leading (okay, "only") place for all your Vernam Cipher needs.  These days your hero is occupying himself with recording rather than gigs, in case you wondered about the mostly empty calendar.  That's subject to change, so don't be surprised if a show pops up here or there.  And if the fancy strikes, I might even decide to grace the heedless Internet with a song or two from the work in progress.

Be seeing you,


Vernam

You Can't Catch Me -- Chuck Berry

We threw this song into the middle of "Ventilator Blues" the other night.  They both have a lot in common with a certain Beatles song, but I'm not going to connect all the dots for you.
