Dear family, friends, and fellow travelers,
The song this cycle is Morning Will Come, a love song of souls passing in the night. Leonore Hildebrandt is on percussion and vocals. We recorded it a couple years ago for our CD Market Day.
Over the years I have a small collection of kids' songs that have grown from time with grandkids. There's now a Kids tab on the main menu, if you're interested.
Dear family, friends, and fellow travelers,
Dear family, friends, and fellow travelers,
I'm resending the music emails - the mail server had some issues and a lot of folks didn't receive the newsletter. So a second round. My apologies if you're getting two of these.
Dear family, friends, and fellow travelers,
The song this cycle is How Do You Love Me Now, written last month during a mini songwriter's retreat I had for myself while Pammy was at the Common Ground Fair with the Wedneasday Spinners. A love song that wonders aloud at how our love changes with time. Change and Love - the two great certainties!
Dear family, friends, and fellow travelers,
Dear family, friends, and fellow travelers,
The song this cycle is Promise of the Sun, written for my daughter when she turned 18. Before becoming a parent, I could never have truly imagined the depth of the tides that would run between us. I am ever grateful to our four children for the abundance of life and love that they bring into this world, just as we so need it...
This was a live recording of Joyful Trio - Kenny Pierce on cello, Leonore Hildebrandt on percussion and harmony vocals, and me on piano and vocals.
Dear family, friends, and fellow travelers,
So sorry to be late this month - kids and grandkids visiting and a major meltdown with my computer! The song this cycle is Numeric Bliss, appropriately enough written with the grandkids a couple of years ago. Count to ten and back again and throw in some hot keys and percussion. Leonore Hildebrandt on percussion and vocals. The song was recorded for our latest CD, Market Day. To hear the whole album, click the link, Market Day!
Dear family, friends, and fellow travelers,
The song this cycle is Abiding Love. I wrote it a number of years ago now and it only deepens as time goes on. You get down to the bones with your partner as the years go on, if you're lucky enough to weather the ride together and see anew the beauty and mystery that is always ours to discover and behold. I recorded the song with Leonore for our album, Into Starlight. She is on percussion and vocals.
Dear family, friends, and fellow travelers,
The song this cycle is a love song for Orion. She was one of the first constellations I learned as a boy. It would be such a comfort to see her rising in the East as winter came on traveling the night sky with such graceful arcs and patterns, the warm red brilliance of Betelgeuse the brooch on her right shoulder (left from our viewpoint). There was a kind of built in nostalgia from her emergence around the winter holidays and the mysterious dance of distance and time to a youngster.
Dear family, friends, and fellow travelers,
The song this cycle is Song for My Father, one of the first songs I wrote, somewhere around 1970 when I was 19. It imagined a time 53 years later when my kids had grown and had their own families and wondered how that would be. Something to hear those words now! I only had an old cassette recording from 1980 so I recorded it fresh this morning with a little piano sprinkled in. I hope you enjoy it.
