Night time

Once upon a time, I laid me down for an afternoon nap. But the east wind began to howl, threatening to bring down Douglas fir branches, and disrupting my intent. From my anxiety came a prayerful poem which became a song.

In this version, I humbly, if not feebly, channelled Leonard Cohen.

There Came A Squall (2021 V3 - Spoken Word)

This was first composed in 1999 during a prolific songwriting season for me. Something caused me to reminisce about my youth in Laguna Beach back in the 60's and 70's.

Foolish Love

Mike Garson

This was a wild interpretation I did of the song Heroes. As it builds, I added a second piano and then a third. Somehow it tickles my funny bone. I hope you enjoy it.

Heroes

Mike Garson - Hey Jude (Beatles Cover)

The best way to express my sorrow is through music. This song, “A Tribute to David,” is very important to me. I recorded it in 2011 for my Bowie Variations album and haven’t performed it since. While the whole album was variations on David’s music, this one meant the most to me because I wrote it for him. It’s how I felt about David in musical terms. Though there’s no doubt I have more music for David coming, this is what I have to offer this morning. Please feel free to share this with others and respond with your memories, thoughts and feelings.
