Musical Charms

Live With Passion

Foreign Girl

This song is a reflection on a relationship turning sweet to sour with an ending moral.

You Mess'd It Up

This is a feel good romantic ballad about love and loss and the courage to carry on through life's dilemmas.

A Couple Million Years

This song came about when I was asked to play at the Brick City Center for the Arts in Ocala to celebrate their Horse Fever Event. I decided to write a song about a guy that catches Horse Fever and slowly turns into a horse.

Horse Fever

This is an arrangement of a piano piece written for my first piano instructors' composition class. I studied with Helen Davies at SFCC in Gainesville, Florida. Mrs. Davies helped me along the path of musicianship. I worked for her as a CWS student and she helped me get prepared to study at the UF Dept of Music.  I recently dusted off this piece and wrote two additional variations and arranged this for orchestra.

All Over You

My twin brother from a different mother and I wrote this song in 1981 and I have upgraded it with some additional rock'n'strations.

Rock 'n' Roll You

My Guitar

The spirit of this song was revealed to me in a dream. That night Hurricane Irma passed over our home. I had my son Ian come in my bedroom and sleep next to my bed on an air mattress. I wanted him close to me to be on the safe side. Also,  I was feeling very protective. 

In this dream I was in my usual role as an elementary music teacher. I was observing a fellow music teacher that was having trouble getting the kids involved in a singing lesson. So I stepped in and began chanting the lyrics "My heart is such that it needs your touch to connect with the love that I want so much." Upon awakening without power but still protected from Irma's blasting winds, I picked up my guitar while Ian slept and the song came together quite quickly.  

Like all of my songs I've spent considerable time using all my abilities to capture the feel of the music and now I have another completed song for my album “Musical Charms.”
