Sometimes a tune just happens. I needed a happy and hopeful thought, and this song came out.  We all need more happy thoughts after last year.

Something about what the day might bring

A companion piece to The Ghost of Barber Manor.

Where the Woodbine Twineth

One of the things I did very much enjoy about church growing up was the choir. I always loved to hear them. I find it as stunning now as I did then. There are answers in those beautiful voices.

And for a moment I saw...

This started out as one thing, and became something else. I thought it was fitting for today.

Memorial: A Simple Fanfare

A continuation of spooky stories from the woods, and this I believe, originated in England, but the one I remember as a child, took place in upstate New York.
The ending still gives me the creeps. Worth looking up! 

The cats, slowed down by their burden, could not match his speed, but just as he was leaving the thick woods for the open country beyond, one of them screeched in a loud, clear and almost human voice, " Mr. Williams, oh Mr. Williams, when you get home, tell Molly Myers that she can come home now. Old Man Hawkins is dead."

King Of Cats

I have had this for awhile and didn't know how to finish it. I added the ending keys in one take. If I did it 50 times, it wouldn't have been any better or worse. Fun to do.

Celebrate The Season

There is always something. So, there's this.

So, there's this

A Metal Break

Been working on some reflective soundtrack stuff lately. This is one of several. Hope you enjoy!

First We Are A Dream

This is something a bit different for me. Although I have written many songs with lyrics, I couldn't sing to save my life. Technology is very interesting. I hope you enjoy it.

It's Just Me

A snowman is a symbol of happier and a simpler time as a child. As I grow older, and a tad bit cynical, I would like it back.  During this holiday season, may you enjoy the company of family and friends, and have warm memories of those that are missed. That is everything. Merry Christmas to all!

Open Road

A Bossa Nova tune about a dreamy trip. Hope you enjoy!

All The Stars

A short tune built on random lyrics that popped into my head. Some sloppy piano but, for better or worse, it came out the way I imagined. Hope you enjoy it!

Five Times Faster

A smokey blues club, a beautiful singer, and a couple of stiff drinks. Sounds like a good start.

Blue Smoke Song Girl

A cover of the band Los Bravo's 60's Classic "Black is Black" with a bit of a different take. I hope you enjoy it!

Black Is Black

A song for all those who have left us, with the hope that we will meet again somewhere else. As Fall approaches and the trees grow bare, Spring will come, and they will be full again.
There is a purpose and an order that fills my heart. I hope you enjoy it.

Leaves

It is a simple song about appreciating the beauty of the place where we live. I hope you enjoy it!

Evening Starlight

A short tune with a seasonal vibe. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays everyone!

A Night of Magic

All Those Colors, in my mind. Fills my heart, when life's not kind. 

All Those Colors

All these days, caught in a dark gray haze. See all the people, walking so slowly by.

HAZE

A fanciful tune about other worlds based partly on a web comic. I hope you enjoy it!

Spaceflight

This song was a bit of an experiment. While the tune is kind of poppy and upbeat, the lyrics are a little ambiguous. I had some fun trying to figure out the harmonies. A bit of a hot mess, but I am happy with it. I hope you enjoy!  

Stepping Out

Shine

I would like to introduce my son, Joseph, who indulged his dad and did a fabulous job of filling out the end of this short tune with some wonderful guitar soloing on the outro. Even though he has only been playing for a few years, he is miles ahead of where I was at his age as a musician. I couldn't be prouder, and I know that my dad is looking down and smiling, as he played piano and wrote music. I hope this is the first of many!  
May we present:  As an example.

As an Example

This tune started with the random, goofy title. I came up with the basic music and melody, then left it for a while because it didn't turn out well. I gave it another try, and this is the finished song. It's definitely a potluck one, filled with lyrics that are more about cadence than making sense. I hope you enjoy!

Rise

Our back yard has a hill with a steep pitch, leading up to a wonderful forest, filled with trails and varied topography.
These are songs inspired by this beautiful area.

A Forest

My music is dependent on where inspiration takes me. I hope you enjoy something here!
