I wrote this piece after watching a documentary about gentrification on the near east side in the city of Columbus, Ohio (It was called "Flag Wars"). We brought the Africans from their country to America, and used them for free labor, making us one of the wealthiest nations in the world. Instrumental, New Age, New Age Electronic
Imagine a canoe journey down the Amazon. Gentle and flowing, featuring a repeated acoustic guitar line with exotic flute, bright psychedelic electric guitar, and soft percussion drifting in and out, creating a dreamy, relaxed mood. Instrumental, New Age, New Age Acoustic
I wrote this piece for my parents who have both passed on now. I envision it as a piece that might have been a "radio hit" in 1952 when I was born. This could have been a radio hit during the late 30's and/or early 40's when my parents were teenagers. A passionate, jazzy piece with piano and violin. Instrumental, Jazz, Dramatic Jazz
Light and cheerful, featuring breezy acoustic guitar strumming that creates a relaxed, upbeat country mood. This is an instrumental piece that is very "Byrd like" in its sound. "Byrd like" as in Roger McGuinn and David Crosby. Think of the 1966 pop charts. Instrumental, Folk, Finger-Picked Guitar
A bright and cheerful acoustic guitar instrumental topped with somber male vocals. Song about being lonely and cold on a rainy November night. I'm outside, out of town, standing in the rain, it's cold, I'm lonely and wishing to be anywhere else, and more than anything with my loved ones. Male Vocals, Singer/Songwriter, Folk Singer-Songwriter
A dream about dancing in a huge cavern with thousands of beautiful dark brown skinned people. The tallest of them was a full 12 inches shorter than I. At the END of the song, the drums stop and the dancers simply evaporate into another realm. These were the Mayans. Instrumental, New Age, Techno-Tribal
Fun and upbeat, featuring rowdy, overlapping piano parts that create a bouncy, energetic ragtime-like groove. I wrote this song to "poke fun at" the theme song from the movie "Deliverance". Instrumental, Blues, Jump
Very pretty and festive finger style acoustic guitar instrumental melody in waltz time, bright, satisfied, and somewhat sentimental. This is about a family gathering on an island in the great lakes reagion of north america, Instrumental, Folk, Finger-Picked Guitar
Bright piano and flute in an energetic evolving groove. I wrote this about the beginning of life, any and all life, from a seed of corn, an acorn, an embryo, what a beautiful thing to meditate upon. Imagine the first single celled organism and GROW from there. This song is about GROWING and EVOLVING, Instrumental, New Age, Solos (Wind)
Fun and upbeat, featuring energetic acoustic fingerpicking that creates an exciting, rowdy mood. Great "chase scene" music. Instrumental, Folk, Finger-Picked Guitar
Bouncy and energetic, featuring jazzy piano and sax in a fun, swinging groove. Upbeat swing instrumental featuring Soprano Sax and Piano. Instrumental, Jazz, Boogie-woogie
Fun and bouncy, featuring an energetic alto sax solo over rowdy stride piano that creates a cool, classic jazz mood. Moderately fast swing Sax and Piano instrumental. Blues based Jazz that really swings! Instrumental, Jazz, Swing Ensembles
Happy and sentimental, featuring bright acoustic guitars and heartfelt but upbeat male vocals that create an uplifting mood. A song about needing to be on the move and traveling. In the style of folk ballads such as Arlo Guthrie's The City of New Orleans. Male Vocals, Folk, Folk Pop
Spooky instrumental with gritty bass clarinet, synth bass, and jaunty piano that creates at first a creepy mood, then a retro, film-noir jazz mood. Instrumental, Electronic, Electro Jazz
Medium fast spirited finger style acoustic guitar instrumental. Close your eyes and march into heaven while being greeted by the saints along the way. Great instrumental sound track for numerous uses! Instrumental, Folk, Finger-Picked Guitar
Up tempo solo finger style acoustic guitar with an Appalachian flavor. This song is an instrumental representation of a tour through the most fantastic garden that you have ever "seen" with your ear. Just close your eyes and enjoy the tour! Instrumental, Folk, Finger-Picked Guitar
Mysterious and trippy, featuring free, floating synthesizer hits and driving bluesy piano and percussion. Kind of a weird, funky instrumental. This song instrumentally depicts the state one would be in if they thought that oysters in vodka sounded like something "good to eat". Instrumental, Jazz, Nu Jazz
A spirited piece featuring piano and orchestra that passes through both serious and whimsical moods, ideal for a melodramatic underscore. Instrumental, Dramatic, Magical Music
Energetic and rowdy, featuring edgy electric guitar and driving piano and drums that create an aggressive, bouncy groove. Upbeat instrumental, something like you might expect to hear in the soundtrack for the movie "Fight Club". This one is a real "BARN BURNER"! Instrumental, Blues, Modern Electric Blues
The first movement of the song represents the emotional state of a person in need of healing. In the second movement of the song one hears the Healer (The Piano) healing the patient (The Flute). As the Piano teaches, so the Flute mimics. Finally, (third movement), the Flute and Piano dance together. Instrumental, New Age, New Age Acoustic
Eerie and ambient, featuring somber, serious strings topped with disturbing, pulsing high screeches that create a horrifying mood. Imagine a conversation (in stereo) between 3 whales, 1000 feet beneath the ocean's surface, one to your left, one to your right, and one in front of you. Instrumental, Horror, Horror Edgy
