This song was written about a special time in life, my childhood.  My parent's would take my brother's and I to Legion Park to play on the magical playground.  My parent's would sit at the picnic table and watch us play.  We would call out, " watch us Daddy, watch us Mommy, thinking that we were performing incredible circus tricks on the playground equipment.  The setting is a beautiful Autumn day with golden leaves falling from the giant trees.

I would like this song to help us all stop and think about how we treat one another and what we say to and about one another.  It is time to Love and Care

Care and Consequence

There is nothing more genuine than anticipating the excitement of bringing into their home the continuation of the family name that can only occur with the miraculous birth of a child who has entered their domain.
This song is written to just that occasion.

Surprise

I hope this song makes you want to get up and DANCE!

Being part of any kind of family is a celebration.  Especially walking with them throughout a lifetime with a clock on the wall watching you along the way.

Our Clock On the Wall

Our Clock On The Wall

Our world is in so much pain, it is time to come away, far away and begin again.  Only then can we soar!

Only Then

The celebration of summertime!  We all have our beautiful memories of the magical summertime.

Lookin Back

The true message of Christmas often times is lost with all of the shopping, decorating, and maxing out the credit cards.  While those things are nice.  What some of us forget is that we celebrate this holy season because of the birth of Jesus Christ!

A Holy Holiday Christmas

I have been playing the guitar and writing songs since I was six years old.  Music has been my way of helping me through life's journey.  I was a public school music teacher for 30 years and loved every child I was able to share my love of music with.  My family has always been very supportive of my joy of music, which included Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins. They were my audience and would clap after every song like I was magic. My Dad called me Shortwheels and would say to me, "Shortwheels is it time to play your music?"  My response was always and enthusiastic, YES!  He would lay down on the sofa or relax in the recliner while I would make music.  After a half hour or so I would hear in the background a very loud snoring sound.  Looking over my shoulder would be Dad sound asleep.  Where was Mom?  She would be listening to me and always offering support or she would sit with me at the piano and we would sing and play duets.  I started playing in the guitar Mass when I was 10 years old.  Boy did I think I was cool up there with my $25 pawn shop Stella singing and playing with the Nuns.  I first took lessons from a man named Mr. Martin, yeah I know Martin!  He moved away and in my small town there were not many guitar teachers back in those days.  My Mom enrolled me in group guitar lessons led by a Nun at my church.  She would not charge money due to Nuns taking a vow of poverty so I would bring steaks to lessons, or several dozen eggs to offer payment for my lessons.  My friends were also supportive of my music.  I was on this traveling softball team and my fellow teammates would ask me to bring my guitar along to tournaments.  We would play a game in the motel after a long day of softball in the hot sun. The game was they would give me a subject and I would have to make up a song about the subject.  That game carried over to the neighborhood friends and finally into my music classroom.  Throughout my life my sweet Daddy would always tell me that I should publish my original music.  Ah Dad, it's not good enough.  Four days before my Father died in December of 2017 he made me promise him that I would publish my songs, "okay Dad I will."   So here we are. I will be posting a few of my songs on this venue and other places.  Yes, there will probably be those that do not appreciate the music but this is for my sweet Father who always loved my music.  I am keeping my promise Dad, I love you, Shortwheels.
