Bittersweet Memories

This piece is for mountain dulcimer and cello. It is about a woman waiting for her man to come back from war. The cello is generated by a program called "Reason".  Special thanks to my son Christopher for helping me with the cello part.

Waiting

This tune came to me when experimenting with EBE tuning on the mountain dulcimer.

Memorial Day
