Gymnopedies number 1  was written by Erik Satie.  

Éric Alfred Leslie Satie (French: [eʁik sati]; 17 May 1866 – 1 July 1925) – he signed his name Erik Satie after 1884 – was a French composer and pianist. Satie was a colourful figure in the early 20th century Parisian avant-garde. His work was a precursor to later artistic movements such as minimalism, Surrealism, repetitive music, and the Theatre of the Absurd.[1]

A Child is Born (feat. Chuck Weirich,  Dan Rosati, Axel Weiss)

'Summit' is inspired by a trip to the Mourne Mountain range in Northern Ireland which i visited a few years ago with my brother. When we arrived we started our trek through the mist and drizzle towards the largest peak - Slieve Donard.  Upon reaching the summit we were standing just above the top of bright sun lit cloud that seemed to stretch for miles.  It gave me an amazing feeling elation and adventure which i have tried to capture in this piece.
Thanks for listening.

Summit

I play the parts using combinations of four guitars and an electric bass: Gibson L5, Fender Telecaster, classical nylon from a luthier named Nakade, steel-string acoustic from a luthier named Sauve, and a Fender Jazz Bass.  Any of my original tunes are freely available for download with the Creative Commons license.  If I didn't write the tune, I didn't make it available for download -- I want to respect intellectual property.  

I'm also active in photography.  The link to my photos is tomhealy.smugmug.com.  

I’ve had the good fortune to study in the past with some excellent teachers: Don Mock (one of the original Guitar Institute of Technology, GIT, instructors); Jay Roberts (son of GIT founder Howard Roberts; GIT is now the Musicians Institute in LA); and, Rich Falco (Rich joined the music faculty of Worcester Polytechnic Institute in 1979; Director of Jazz Studies.).

And, I've been able to attend some terrific clinics from guitar masters such as: Jim Hall, Pat Martino, John Schofield, Larry Coryell, Ulf Wakenius, Howard Alden, Frank Vignola, John Pisano, John Pizzarelli, Vic Juris, Corey Christiansen, Kevin Eubanks, and others.
