Marking my third collaboration with gifted pianist Debra Buesking, what an honor and treat to have her add her piano magic to a tune I wrote some 25 years ago on a warm summer evening in Colorado.  The Godin guitar seemed the perfect voice to express the warmth and intimacy of a summer evening reverie, and Debra's piano the perfect accompaniment, like two friends enjoying a glass of wine.  Hear more of Debra's fine compositions and arrangements @debra_buesking.

One Summer Night, A Reverie, with Debra Buesking, piano

Skyr

Not the second song I made for my Ämpers@nd project but I found it fitting as a second song on the EP because of the build up and tension. It has a kind of hunting feeling to it and some finallity (or something). It's hard to put into words. Just like "Slowly Getting Heavier" this one seemed to compose itself and just poured out of me. I think the title says it all and captures the feeling it tries to convey.

Every Day Is A Little Bit Easier

Shirley Temple Cover🍭

I’ve thrown away my toys
Even my drum and train
I wanna make some noise
With real live aeroplanes
Some day I’m gonna fly
I’ll be a pilot too

And when I do, how would you like to be my crew?
On the good ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip to a candy shop where bonbons play on the sunny beach of peppermint bay
Lemonade stands everywhere
Cracker Jack bands fill the air
And there you are are …happy-landing on a chocolate bar
See the sugar bowl do the tootsie roll * …eat the big bad devils food cake
If you eat too much yer gonna get a tummy ache

On the good ship lollipop….
In to bed you hop
And dream away
On the hood ship lollipop
It’s a sweet trip…..

Ghost Ship

Spring is coming inevitably, and with it more and more dynamic surf rock songs! This one is brand new and still contains some winter nostalgia. I hope you will enjoy the vibe. I like "road movies" and enjoy creating "road music" for movies that don't exist 😉 But you can always use your imagination. Enjoy! 🍀🎸

Coming to You

This is the archetypal wanderer at dusk, feeling the chill of oncoming winter, and yearning for their home.
It is a really a riff on an ancient fragment of verse: 

“Westron wynde when wyll thow blow
the smalle rayne downe can Rayne
Cryst yf my love were in my Armys
And I yn my bed Agayne.”

This mysterious poem leaves you wanting the back story.
Many artists have been inspired by it and released their own interpretations. 

Some years ago I did my own acoustic guitar ballad; it was a fresh melody, and the back story I construed went thus:

“Westron wynde when wilt thou blow,
the small rain down can rain,
Cryst  my love were in my arms
And I in my bed again .

Morning mist, when wilt thou lift,
Permit the early sun;
I would that she were here with me,
And all my journey done.

For too long have I wandered,
And too long been alone.
Listen to the thunder,
Calling me back home.

I had a dream of lands unseen,
Of wonders to behold,
Of lions on the beaches,
And cities paved in gold.

My eyes were blind to my own kind,
My heart was brash with lust,
I valued only fortune’s prize, as every young man must.

But all I found was hardship, 
And the cruel wolves of war.
And countless empty souls like me,
Each one seeking more.

Now all I’ve earned is what I’ve learned,
So this I will impart:
The only gold a man can hold abideth in his heart.

So Westron Wynde rise up my friend,
And let your small rains fall.
‘To Cryst my live we’re in my arms,
And I in my bed and all.”

This piece uses that melody.

... this is what has been happening to me for the last 24 hours now ... I stumbled upon this latest "acoustic adventure" originally born on guitar not too long ago. I find it wonderful as an obsession.

Soundtrack for a never seen movie

Hello, Freind. Thank you for visiting my page.
This is essentially a sketch pad, as I learn to develop musical ideas; it's a bucket-list project, really. Soundcloud is a great motivator for actually finishing tracks.
These tunes flicker like fish in the depths of my subconcious.
They are the memories of lives unlived.
With the help of VST, I will try to draw them up to the light of day, but it is a huge learning curve! Please be patient, be kind, and leave comments if you are moved to.
