New Music, Old Music

Here is one of the oldest songs I ever wrote, recorded in 1965 on an obscure LP called, “Colorado Folk Ballads.” I rediscovered this record in my parents old collection of memorabilia, and was shocked at two aspects of it. First, how wonderful my voice was back then (I was 18), and second, how crude and undeveloped my guitaristry was. So rather than hit you with that old stuff, I rewrote the chord sequence, which to my ear, is quite stirring. This piece is followed by two new pieces. Enjoy, if you can.

“Trilogy of Faith” just the chord sequence
Theme 355 – 2025
Theme 356 – 2025
