A Touch Of Spring is a happy surprise during the waning days of winter. The sun shines warm and the buds begin to appear and the birds are singing

A Touch Of Spring- Draft 2

Cerise, Cerise - Draft 2

Dawn breaks as sailors cast off the lines, sailing their tall ships to the treacherous sea...

Of Stormy Seas And Tall Ships Sailing

What an honor to collaborate with Ariane Klauer! 

Ariane is a talented multi-instrumentalist and hails from Germany. Thank you so much, Ariane, for adding such a magical richness to the song!

This project took just two weeks to complete! Often times one of us was anxiously awaiting an edit from the other and with a 9 hour time difference the wait could seem even longer! But we were smiling throughout the project!

Ariane Klauer - Glockenspiel, Kalimba, Tin Whistle
Dean Robinson - Mountain Dulcimer

This is a song I wrote for my oldest daughter when she was born. I remember looking at her in her crib and wondering if it was right to bring a child into a cruel world. 

But the song speaks to the fact that beauty also exists and should be the focus of our lives.

By the way Cerise is the little girl playing the "rocking chair arm dulcimer" in the photo.  

Love you Punkindoodles...

Cerise, Cerise (featuring Ariane Klauer)

A song I'm writing for my youngest daughter Kylie. She's one of those people that lights up a room when she enters. What a delightful smile!

Smiley Kylie - Draft 1

I started this song missing my wife while she was away in NY on business. I finished the first draft today and thought it was fitting to publish it on Memorial Day.  

With the thousands of men and women away from their families, here's hoping we're counting the days until armies are no longer needed.

Counting The Days

Wow just found this blast from the past! This is an original tune recorded around 1986. You can even hear the tape flutter lol.

Flight To Minas Tirith (with Frank Ledgerwood in 1986)

Another collaboration with the fabulously multi-talented Ariane Klauer. 

I hope this tune brings a smile to your soul.

Music is the universal language. Let's talk...
