Two More Lullabies

And then I promise to bring back some more upbeat pieces. But for now, just relax and get ready to sleep.

To Dry the Eyes That Weep

Theme 174, a lullaby

Love Song from a Sailor

From 1999 when I was sailing around the world in my sloop. Or… well…

Collette

Two Lullabys

One with words, one without. Put your little ones to sleep.

Tonight’s Gonna Be A Good Night

Theme 297, a lullaby

An old song and a new song

Theme 30 – Convergence – 2012

Theme 298 – 2024

The only thing like this that I ever did, my fourteenth piece of music.

Theme 14

Relax

This is to help you relax and think kind thoughts.

Theme 295

An old song, and a brand new piece

The first, The Ballad of Billy, is from 1999, from memories of my youth. The second is just off the screen, Theme 294, which, for the moment, is quite pretty. But I’ll probably revise it endlessly.

The Ballad of Billy

Theme 294

Well, many years ago, before computers and the internet, I wrote a short story about a man who carried an enormous length of garden hose up a mountain with the goal of starting a siphon to run water from a lake to his cabin below. His only friend, a water attorney (?!?!), warned him that stealing water could get him in a lot of trouble. But, undeterred by this cautionary advice, he proceeded to climb to the lake and start the siphon. Meanwhile, his friend cooked breakfast in the cabin below. By the time the hose was hooked up, his friend had set fire to the kitchen and lost control of his wits. Just when it looked like the cabin would be burned to ashes, the hose began blasting water, and he was able to save the house. This was the first of several short-short stories in a series that I called Mountain Breakfast, in which each tale involved cooking or eating breakfast in the wild. It was all about humans, all about nature, and all about human nature. I’m still at it, still hiking and thinking and writing tales, although they’re longer now, and not about eating breakfast.
