I wanted some songs fitting for a Christmas party: low-key, instrumental... etc. All songs were made on my acoustic guitar and a midi-controller at my office desk using a Snowball microphone. I named it Playing With a Snowball (Very catchy, I know). I hope you enjoy it.

Playing With A Snowball

Easy listening, love song with a Christian slant. Trying out my new single coil guitar and my new bass guitar... such fun! Kind of going for the Cafe' feeling.

More Of You

Here is my latest Worship offering. I'd love some feedback.

Be Still

Tried to be more 'Epic' on this...lol... I don't know it sounds really good in my headphones...lol

Winter Wonderland

This is an attempt to write a bluegrass tune with an alternately tuned guitar. The idea came to me as I was playing around with my old Gretch guitar. It sounds like a wood dobro. The song literally wrote itself when I detuned it.

Brighton Pass

I did this for my older daughter, Emily, to sing in a play. It is What Child Is This as so awesomely done by Sarah Mchlachlan on the WinterSong album... oh and it is only one verse. ~1:30... I'm using my newly purchased microphone to record the guitar. :) 

If you don't have this Christmas album, you owe it to yourself to purchase it... it is pretty wonderful!

What Child Is This Sarah Mclachlan Version (Cover)

Writing is sometimes very cathartic. This is the case here. 

Hold Still
By Doug Joseph

VERSE 1:
Hold still my heart
Here comes another wave
There’ll be some scars
Something to match the pain
Will it trap me or can I let it go
Can I give it all away

CHORUS:
Take all of me
Take all I’ll ever be
Help me to see
That You’ve got… got the best for me
I’m not alone
No I’m not alone

VERSE 2:
This road is dark
Can You just light the way
It seems too hard
So I’ll pray you’ll give me strength
Will it beat me or can I overcome
Can I live by only faith

Bridge:
I will wait upon the Lord
He will grant me strength
So I can soar with eagle’s wings
I will walk and not be weary
I will run and not grow faint


Hold Still

This is my attempt ay an Irish/Gaelic vibe to it for a movie score. So far, this is what I've come up with. Input welcome :)

I love music. These past 15 years have been a time of rapid learning. Many of these songs are a result of those lessons. I hope they bless and touch you as you listen.
God Bless
