My friend Bob Appleby and I  were outside his place, looking at summer's glorious green landscape, and we both agreed that the creeping vine with large yellow flowers on a far-off tree meant that it had become a pumpkin tree. Then we wrote the song. This is Bob and I with an electric arrangement of Pumpkin Tree. I perform the song solo these days on acoustic guitar.

Pumpkin Tree

This is another tune that I wrote with my friend Bob Appleby. I think it came about very organically. "Daffodil Jane" kind of just came out of my mouth and then the rest of the lyrics happened within an hour or 2. I still perform this one solo as well, though in a different tuning, speed, etc. than this electric arrangement.

Daffodil Jane

This is a song about Beauty. As Mr. Spock said, "After a time, you may find that having is not so pleasing a thing after all as wanting. It is not logical, but it is often true."

Beauty Said

I wrote this song because I think lots of people are WAY too focused on whether or not a story is true. It doesn't matter whether or not David slew Goliath, or even existed. What matters is the idea that good will triumph over evil. And it doesn't matter whether or not Arthur of Camelot actually had a "round table" or even existed. What matters is that lights can stay lit, even when surrounded by darkness, as long as people of good heart make it so.
