The title track of my 2021 CD is a song about falling in love late in life. It's never too late, ya know.

She Makes My Heart Dance

A ballad of the first scientist to become a pop folk hero. Thanks to Walter Isaacson for anecdotes from his excellent Einstein bio, to Paul Simon for the example of Joe DiMaggio, to the NYT for an article on the anniversary of the theory of relativity, and to Kristin Garbeff for her sweet cello.

Einstein

I was in a men's meeting one morning, thinking about a new tune I had written and loved that had no words. Suddenly, it started pouring outside and the lyric flowed out of me.

I Am The Rain

Thanks to Brian Bosley for adding his sweet oboe to my sad song.

The Song That Got Away

Thanks to Kenny Schick of Basement3 Productions for his electric guitars, bass, percussion, background vocals, sax, recording, mixing and mastering here and throughout this CD

You Are My Home

A happy uke love song with a nice bass line by Kenny Schick

Sweet Love Blues

Thanks to Brian Bosley for his oboe and bassoon on this tune.

Oregon Coast

Just for fun, an old timey dance tune I made up on my Yamaha keyboard on a voicing it calls "harmonium."

Accordion Waltz

A ballad that builds to a rocker thanks to the sax of Kenny Schick.

Real Love

An instrumental with my Yamaha keyboard and Cordoba guitar
