Things to share...
If you’re looking for the best music you’ve ever heard, this is not the place. If by some fluke I should work my way into that netherworld of the convergence of top notch writing, creative and original arranging and solid, clean performance, I’ll be sure to share it. In the meantime, welcome to my sandbox. This is where I play.

Eyes Like Hers
I recently ran across this song from February 1998. I had a “jerky” copy pulled from probably the first CD I ever made (on my Amiga computer). Last Friday (26th) I decided to see if I could resurrect the original tracks from the 8-track reel-to-reel, in part to see if I could to it. The first…

Malagueña - Student Edition

Rosemary’s in Bloom
On January 1st, 2010, Dan McClure noted on Facebook that the year was starting off nicely: Mary’s lost wallet had been returned and, in what seemed a positive sign: his rosemary was in bloom. I shot back that I thought that seemed like a good title for a song and that if he’d write the lyrics…

To the New World
The Hewlett-Packard Symphony Orchestra was to be no more. Modern corporate trends dictated that the modest corporate support of our orchestra was ending. Our final concert, in this case as “The Group Formerly Known as the Hewlett-Packard Symphony” was May 15, 2009. The concert featured the Dvořák...

Spirit: I Got a Line on You
Lately I’ve started working up versions of songs as a sort of exercise for the student - a way to improve my playing and learn about arranging, recording, producing, etc. i picked this song because in so many ways it represents what I don’t do well. It rocks, it’s raw, it doesn’t take itself too...
