I composed this on guitar and arranged it on Garage Band.

This track is an updated cover of a beloved campfire song that we would sing at church camp. 

My sister, Denise Bright is on lead vocals.

Pass It On (featuring Denise Bright)

1965

80's dance track. The title was inspired by a delayed flight out of SeaTac.

Frontier 3974

This song was birthed from a chord progression that I played around with on an acoustic guitar, for a while, which I recorded and named, "Acoustic Invention" until it evolved into this piece. The title "Fitted Sheet" came to me as an epiphany. Fitted sheets are best when they are being used. When you try to fold them up to store them away... well, have you ever tried to fold a fitted sheet? Anyway, it's a kind of metaphor for us as followers of Jesus. We are at our best, when we are being used for God's kingdom.

Closer To….

The year my beautiful wife passed. I want to thank Lily Dolan for her beautiful words that are spoken over the music.

2022

I created this instrumental track many years ago. It has been re-mixed and re-tooled many times but still remains one of my favorite pieces. The title is in reference to the passage - I Corinthians 13:12, "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part, but then shall I know even as also I am known." I hope that you enjoy it!

Through a Glass Darkly

I was noodling around on my daughter's 3/4 size acoustic guitar and this little diddy came out of it. 

I recorded this tune with a Dean Performer acoustic guitar using an old recording software application named "Quartz Studio 32". You can download it free from this website: https://quartz-studio-free.en.softonic.com/.  

I love the simplicity of this tune. I hope that you will also!

Words and Music by Jeff Alquist

This world will break your heart
With its emptiness and pain
Everybody's living their own lives
Doing things for their own gain

We've got to live
Loving Christ each day
We've got to love
In a world of grey
There's a better world out there
And with the world, God's love we'll share

We are told that we must live inside
This world, like all the rest
But sometimes, when this life gets so rough
It's so hard to do your best

We've got to live
Loving Christ each day
We've got to love
In a world of grey
There's a better world out there
And with the world, God's love we'll share

We've got to live
Loving Christ each day
We've got to love
In a world of grey
There's a better world out there
And with the world, God's love we'll share

We've Got To Love

My wife Jacqueline was an amazing dance instructor and studied ballet for many years. I lost her to cancer in 2022. She was the inspiration for this song.

The Ballet Recital

I created this demo many years ago with multiple synths and drum machine, which is evident in the very 80's sounding track. I rebooted it in Garage Band in 2020.

Pursuit

This is a reboot of a tune I wrote a number of years ago on a cheap keyboard.
