For A Broken Heart

Poolside is a song about life's inequalities of class and gender based on a scene I witnessed around a hotel pool in Crete many years ago.

The Aching Taste of Blue

Here & Now (Alternative Version)

For What? - Knoeline Keane (original)

August’s Song: Rosalind’s Brownies from The Penderwicks 

The recipe is at the end *BUT!* it’s actually MY sister’s Blue Ribbon county fair recipe from when we were little. She said I could share it 🤗

I love the Penderwick books and their fierce loyalty and fun! They remind me of my own siblings and our adventures growing up. 

I thought it would be a good exercise to zoom into a particular moment in the books, the making of brownies by the eldest sister for her younger siblings. 
It’s a waltz with the focus on the movements of baking in honor of the two sisters who love music and dance. 
But there are measurements for the sister who loves math. 
And for the sister who writes, the chorus zooms back out into the narrative of their sibling-hood. 

The Penderwick Family Honor. Better together, together forever. 

So, here’s my love song to my own siblings! 💕

Baby & I

Under That Nothern Rough

we've got to keep them close
precious pages, boxset cases
the likings youve amassed
you autumn enthusiast
we've only got one brain
only so much we can absorb in a day
cant stop the pictures playing
whilst we lie there contemplating
how could we rehearse?
for such a blessing, such a curse
how can we perform?
in such a strange time to be
born into an age
where don't shake and hands aren't raised
and long gone people are praised
for the hands they shook and the questions they raised
its easy to believe
humanity has an ace up its sleeve 
who will save us? the trees
or it looks as though we're down on our knees

A Strange Time

7. The Adventures Of Sky And Friends Part 4

I wrote and recorded this Christmas song perhaps 10 years ago or so.  It's a peaceful song about preparing for Christmas and the Holidays.  I LOVE CHRISTMAS!  I believe in Jesus Christ and I believe that he is the Savior of Mankind.  So naturally, I love the months heading up to Christmas day and New Year's Day.  I pray for the peace of mankind every holiday season, but sadly we just always seem to have evil leaders doing evil things, and war every year.  Why can't we all be kind and live in peace?  I wish I knew.

It's Time For Christmas!
