A mysterious caller arrives....
A Celtic-flavored composition inspired by the fierce winds that roll down the Rockies. The tune is played on a mahogany Lowden guitar from Northern Ireland.
A simple little tune for Paula, may she always walk in sun.
A little song of friendship for Anita Camarella and Davide Facchini in far-off Milano.
This tune was written to chronicle our move from Chicago to Boulder, Colorado - not in a covered wagon, but a Great Migration for us just the same. The song is played on a lovely Paul Woolson Double-Top LG ("Little Guy") guitar that Paul has sent around on a road trip of its own so that a variety of fingerstyle players can take it for a spin. It's a delightful instrument.
Just a pensive little tune written for my wife. It's played on the Woolson LG.
A piece written for two friends who met and married long after most do.

A song named for the strong Aegean wind that Philip of Macedon used to advantage when sailing against southern fleets. The meltémi often dies down at night, leaving a peaceful summer evening by the sea.
A tune I wrote for my ever-youthful mother in honor of her 80th birthday. Featured on nylon-string guitar is a talented musical friend from the Netherlands, Marcel Tiemensma.
A duet with Bill Vencil, who's also the composer of the tune.
Bill's Lowden is the first guitar you hear; I accompany him and take a solo on my Goodall.
A tranquil little moment far away from city life.
So why the Portuguese title? Because I was playing a Brazilian guitar!
My take on a tune by Howard Emerson.

A little tone poem for our late, great German shepherd.
A spontaneous creation on a warm spring afternoon, just for fun.
A little ode to mornings with my lovely wife.

Written at Lake Louise in 2002, the day after we witnessed some stunning aurora activity along US 131.
Always dug this old standard. I play it more slowly than a real bluegrass picker would, and to tell the truth I like it both ways.
