A sad song (disguised as a happy song) that I wrote after seeing a baby bird meet his maker on a busy NYC street. Haunts me to this day.

A dreamy little ditty I finished writing recently. Both Cole Porter and Whitesnake, (among others) have written songs with the same title, but this one is my own.

My wife's family often sings this hymn as a sort of singing grace before holiday meals. The lyr­ics, often referred to as the Dox­ol­o­gy in many church­es, are ac­tu­al­ly the last verse of a long­er hymn, Awake, My Soul, and with the Sun written by Thomas Ken in 1674. 

The score is attributed to Luis Bourgeois  (1510-1561) who, interestingly, was jailed at one point in his career for modifying some well known hymns without a license. (Egads!)

The lyrics are:
Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
Praise Him, all creatures here below;
Praise Him above, ye heavenly host;
Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

This tune is inspired by two things: The vibrating, bubbling, bouncy seat we used to put our kids in when they were infants and also a riddle about shadows…go figure.

OMG, I love this porcupine. He sounds just like Cousin It from the Addams Family.

Here's a cover of Larry Unger's lovely waltz.

Here's a  Gillian Welch tune I've loved for a long time, or at least, since 2001.

Our hero finds he is not alone!  I wrote this tune for my saw, but wound up performing it on guitar for many years before the saw ever got a chance to chime in.  It's also my attempt to reclaim (for general usage) the line "I ain't afraid of no ghost" from a certain movie soundtrack.

A love song I wrote about an old couple and a lost wedding ring.
