Rainy Day

Try - to forget 
did what i can
see the sun came down
on a rainy day

a harlekins` heartbreak
already moved the saints
see the sun – see me
raining on you

hello soul 
feels like i´m a song
in the autumn sun
so low – so strong

the wind kept blowing
the doors kept close
the storm passed slowly
green light was the black cross
red light – jackpot future
there´s no time
a stolen picture
blaming just the crime
blaming just the crime
but no one now
no one now

who was taken  by the wings of speed
whos` head found its line
on a rainy day

so i tried to forget her
did what i can
see the sun came down on a rainy day

take me home my Lord
all the lights seem red
all i´m missing now
seems all i ever had
on a sunny day

Francisco, Tina, Klaus.

МОКРАЯ УЛИЦА

Мокрая, мокрая, мокрая улица 
в небе асфальтовом мне нарисуется. 
Кто-то торопится, кто-то волнуется 
в доме на этой знакомой мне улице. 

А мне сюда 
не нужно уже никогда, 
я просто так здесь, 
я просто есть, просто есть, просто есть. 

Люди, сегодня меня повстречавшие, 
завтра становятся просто вчерашними. 
Но то, что мне нравится, - 
это останется 
рядом со мной, в моей памяти: 

этот город, умытый дождем, 
этот день, этот дом, 
в памяти вечно умытый дождем.

Striped Maple

I made my friends some homemade vegetable stock as a gift for their wedding, though i felt another gift to accompany the vegetable stock would be nice, so here's an original waltz written for my friends to accompany their vegetable stock. 

Instruments: Killarney D tin whistle, Kentucky mandolin, Jerry Freeman low A tin whistle, ankle bells, tingsha bells

Vegetable Stock Waltz

A tune written while playing a tin whistle as I was wading down a river. Every now and then I'd catch up to a duck, eventually getting fairly close as I continued to wade and whistle, then once I was quite near it, the duck would fly further down the river. This pattern continued for a little while and it seemed I was accidentally slowly chasing the duck. Which is where the name arose from. 

Instruments:
Kentucky mandolin, Killarney D tin whistle

The Moose's Antlers

While this tune was being written a turkey flew by the window beside me, and up into a tree. They're quite a sight to see when they're flapping their wings through the air by your window. And they always seem to look peculiar in a tree. But I always really appreciate wild turkeys, and I'm glad to finally have an original tune titled for them. 

Instruments:
Kentucky mandolin, Doug Tipple low D flute, sleigh bells, tingsha bells

This composition arose while sitting beside a window with my cat and listening to the birds chirp in the morning.

Written after visiting a beautiful spot called Farrar Marsh.

Farrar Marsh

Original compositions played upon various acoustic instruments. 

At the moment, the majority of music I record is original folk tunes. Most of these tunes arise whilst out in natural ecosystems or shortly after visiting a natural ecosystem. The titles often reflect an aspect of the ecosystem I had noticed while the tune came about. Lately this is usually a species of bird.

Tin whistles and flutes appear the most often in my recordings; though mandolin, tenor guitar, lyre harp, jaw harp, dulcitar, and a handful of other instruments show up fairly often as well.

And here's some more music I've made along with my friend Dan Jones:
