Here is the first song I ever wrote, at age 18, after visiting a ghost town and hearing a lame Windex ad. I used the first four notes of the Windex tune and wrote a couple verses, since slightly revised. Here’s “Tumble Down Shack.”
And my latest song, January 2021, Theme 152, titled “What’s Ours Today.”
Theme 137, using trombone and bassoon solo instruments to make little arpeggios and colors. Two minutes and forty-three seconds of bliss. More on the way to, someday, a symphony. Hmmm.
And, as always, a poem to keep you thinking.
Theme 142 for a change of pace.
This is to help cheer you through 2020. As always, use headphones or good speakers!
Here are a couple pieces, followed by a new version of Humpy Dumpty. Enjoy.
Here are Theme 101 and Theme 102, two parts of a small suite. Hope you like them.
The first composition, below, Theme 52, is probably the first “song” I ever wrote, assisted by Bruce Markkula, when I was about 18 years old. A guitar duet, I recreated it with garage band pianos. The second is Theme 74, which I call “Turn Around” because the tiny first line, which recurs, sounds like that.
If the first is too frenetic for your taste, the second will calm you back down. Theme 116, then Theme 115:
Theme 112 for piano and bass.
This is Theme 105
And the lullaby, Theme 111 (Set the volume lower to go to sleep).
