Here's a current draft of a traditional tune I really like. There are several recorded versions out there.

I'm still around :) not much time for recording lately, but I did take my little harp out by the pond a couple of weeks ago. You hear a little waterfall, the breeze, and some birdsong in the background. Pretty lovely setting for a pretty lovely…

An in-progress tune I started playing today on my new old harp. Sounds pretty good even just as it is; but I'm imagining it with some light percussion, a little violin, and maybe a guitar? We'll see how it goes.

I wanted to record a version of this lovely traditional East Coast Canada / USA tune. It's been done many times, in different ways, with variations on the lyrics. I've leaned on Solas's and Stan Rogers's versions, and added a verse of my own…

Another French folk song that I thought I’d have a go at recording today. It’s a lovely little tune about gathering around the table with friends. I learned this one from one of Marcel Bénéteau’s CDs. Lyrics: Y a encore dessur la table une…

Continuing with the kitchen party kind of theme: this is a very old and very catchy French folk song. I learned it from a recording by Marcel Bénéteau, who did a really nice a capella version. I've added a few chords and a little spoons to it…

I'll Tell Me Ma is a folk song in the Irish tradition. I recorded it with acoustic instruments, multiple vocal tracks, and spoons for the main percussion, to give it that kitchen party feel! I did it in the key of C. Not exactly normal, but…

Classical guitar, one track playing chords and the other tripping around. I think I recorded this in the summer and then forgot all about it! Anyway it's nice enough for sharing. Enjoy!

A happy little tune about a long road trip my wife and I took this summer. Lyrics: Well we were young and we were free And it was you and it was me And we were out long after midnight And the sun was shining all the night through…

Here's a pretty decent draft of a fingerpicking tune I've been working on for a while now. For me it calls to mind flying low over tall grass, like a bird swooping down in a large arc for the pure joy of it.

This is one of my favourite traditional tunes, for sure. This one pairs well with my last upload, A Harp in the Night. Maybe the two will become a medley... anyway, enjoy!

Re-uploading a new version of this one. I think it's done now.

This song sets a breathless pace. It's about a girl who dances everyone else under the table. Lyrics: Dancing through the crowded room A silver band in her hair Weaving, whirling, on her toes There's music in the air A lover taps his…

Always loved this song. Just playing that D to G is almost a meditation. One track, singing and plucking, recorded on the phone. I'm mostly following the Wallflowers' version of the lyrics here.

Picture an old tavern just up the way, and music spilling into the street. My first REM submission! Put in for April.

A little more rock and roll than my normal mellow vibe. I might play around with this some more, but for now, it is what is :) Guitar, bass, bodhran, vocals, and a casio keyboard drumkit.

A 3-part series for relaxation, meditation, or yoga. Harp, bass, bongos, and a brushed bodhran processed to sound like ocean waves.

Playing with harmonics and my little bongos. Pretty soothing.

This one makes me really happy. Soothing and a little snappy. Guitar, bass, lyre, bongo, bodhran (brush), vocals. Lyrics: Life is a roller coaster Just turn on the toaster I know you're up and down Just make a happy sound Flying a dragon…
