Welcome |
These pieces of
music are of a sundry nature and written mainly for my
own pleasure. I wrote them and performed them and am to
blame for them. It started because I could not find any
one to write melodies for my lyrics. It occurred to me
that since I could read music to some degree, I should
be able to write, at least basic melodies, as I heard
them in my mind.

The poetry and
songs cover a long period in my life and represent, in a
few circumstances, more a catharsis than an urge to
create. "The Old Man Dying" was written to help the 50
year old me finally deal with the death of my
grandfather when I was 17. "Heart Of My Soul" is
primarily a prologue to the "Masque" that follows.

The writing is
incredibly self indulgent and not designed to please
anyone--if does then that's a bonus. Positive
comments are always welcomed and appreciated; if you are
feeling negative about my creations then stop listening
and reading--no one is forcing you to be on the site
after all.

And a deep bow to Susan Sackett who designed these pages and
installed them for me--without her this site would not be here.
