Two versions of this verse about a thrush at the Spring above the Ranch, circa 2007.
THRUSH SONG lyrics

Still more original music
Ivy League Alma Mater.
Garage Band does pretty good trombones. All we need is words… Anybody?
Traditional, but pretty, I think.
Musical Compositions
This one is for chasing butterflies. I thought this must have been what I looked like at age four or five, trying to catch butterflies with my hands.
This is the first instrumental composition I ever wrote, in 1962, with the help of Bruce Markkula, who studied guitar with Johnny Smith.
This one is the first composition I ever wrote on GarageBand, in about 2008. I refer to it as “My Adagio,” since it has no other name.
My Funeral March
As it currently sounds…
Another Song
Here’s a happy little tune I wrote a few days ago. See what you think. This is copyrighted, of course, which is why I put so few songs up. It takes forever to register a copyright.
Another Lullaby
Try “Lullaby for Fizzy” as a bedtime song. But it needs good speakers. Fizzy is a little girl, now about fifteen, in Chicago. She won’t mind if we share her lullaby.
To Dry the Eyes that Weep: A Cricket Lullaby
As we approach Autumn, the crickets begin their plaintive calls each night. If you have little kids, teach them to love the cricket songs. I made a lullaby for them, complete with crickets!
