‘Remember For Me” is a song inspired by people I’ve met while doing musical volunteer work in a memory care facility and expresses the frustrations and hopes for those impacted by all forms of memory loss. The song features me on 12-string guitar, vocals, bass and percussion. The song also features a beautiful string arrangement and realization from Steve Andricks.

Remember for Me
If I forget the thought of you, the sparkle in your eyes
If I forget the sight of you in the dying evening light

Just remember for me and I’ll be there with you
Just remember for me and I’ll be there with you
When I’m no longer, no longer anywhere

If I forget the feeling of your hand as you touch me
If I forget the warmth in your soul when you smile at me

Just remember for me and I’ll be there with you
Just remember for me and I’ll be there with you
When I’m no longer, no longer anywhere

Don’t think any less of me if I forget the sound of your voice as it calls to me
If I forget smell of your hair after we’ve been walking the rain

Just remember for me and I’ll be there with you
Just remember for me and I’ll be there with you
When I’m no longer anywhere
I’m no longer anywhere
When I’m no longer anywhere
I’m no longer anywhere

Just remember for me and I’ll be there with you
Just remember for me and I’ll be there with you
When I’m no longer, no longer anywhere

Remember For Me

Raise those kirtles up, maidens, it's party time.

2 More Pavanas

I've recorded a few different versions of this over the years. For this one I played the main riff on 12-string acoustic, and flexed my noodly appendage with an unplugged Epiphone Casino. The 12-string is in lute tuning (EADF#BE) for those who care.

So Free

Memories of a love through the earring she left behind

The Earring

The other day, my old friend Mark and I decided we would perform a holiday song for the Christmas season - we hope you enjoy it as much as we do.

Though written in 1943, the song lyric still rings through today.  It features me on vocal, 12-string guitar and bass and Mark Powell on vocal and synths.

Arranged by Dan Swanson.
