Blue Sky Days Play Recording		This is the first of three songs in my 'A chuisle geal mo chroi' Suite. This Irish language phrase, referring to a daughter, literally means 'O bright beat of my heart'. These three songs were inspired while raising the bright beat of my own heart who has now grown into a lovely woman.
A Bud Thus Grows Play Recording		This is the second of three songs in my 'A chuisle geal mo chroi' Suite ... the story continues. It started out as a single verse prompted by my sister Chrissy. She wanted a verse comparing a daughter to a rose for a panel in an afghan she was making for my daughter. I wrote the first verse in an Elizabethan style and left it for a while. Then I saw Sting on television playing an antique lute. It seemed like a fun idea to write a song that would work with that (Elizabethan) instrument and the rest of the song was born.
A Hundred Miles Before Breakfast Play Recording		The third and final song in my 'A chuisle geal mo chroi' Suite. Inspired by a real event, it describes a very important day in a parent's life.
Rhyme Among the Reasons Play Recording		Somehow, about 47 years ago, I had the good fortune to meet a lady who would become my wife. She's been my best friend, partner and lover every day since. This is our story.
Unmarked Pavement Play Recording		And while we're on the subject, how about a gritty little blues tune for that special lady who still has it after 47 years!
He Told Us Play Recording		How will our lives be measured when we are gone? By our achievements? By our failures? Or by what we leave behind? How many lives are mostly spent on what will matter most in the end? This song is written without accompaniment (a cappela) in a Dorian scale rather than the more common Ionian, Aeolian or Mixolydian scales.
Words Across the Ages Play Recording		This is a true story about a rhyme written to me by my Grandfather in 1955. My sister Chrissy found it when sorting some old papers and sent it me in December, 2005. So even though I met my Grandfather, only once when I was 3-1/2 years old, we co-wrote this song ... but it took over 50 years to finish.
