A fun little ditty with a nod to Hank Williams (my attempt, anyway...)

You are making my day! Mahalo! Amy and I did it in church, but the sound guy didn't start the record in time, so the beginning is cut off. Also, we both had colds at the time. Hopefully I can record this with both of us soon.

Thanks, Bethan! A song I wrote with our church's bluegrass band in mind. Had fun playing with the words once I got the idea.

Bethan, thanks so much! My "Band" is my computer - I used a program called "Band-In-A-Box" It makes it easier for people of limited abilities like myself to still put songs together. After I come up with a song on my guitar, I plug the chords in. I can change the tempo. Then I click on a button that will try out the song in different pre-set styles (variations on jazz, country, folk, pop, rock, soul, reggae, classical, new age, etc etc). I look for the one that's closest to what I'm hearing in my head. From there it can be tweaked with rests, holds, muted istruments, switched instruments, etc until it's even closer to what I want. It's good enough to get a good sketch of what I'm thinking the song should sound like. One new thing with these last two songs - instead of midi instruments, the program has "styles" using actual recorded instruments, so the drums, guitar, fiddle, etc are not midi! Anyway, I then I use Power Tracks to import the music and add lead and harmony tracks.

I love this track. When I play it on the laptop, I have it on repeat, over and over, just wonderful!

Beautiful. Reminded me a little bit of Enya which is good in my book

Got my daughter to help us out on this one, too. She's very shy, but you can hear her a little in here. Apologies for the rambling intro! :)

I love the atmosphere of these live tracks. Your daughter is a brave girl, watch her, she will be up there on her own one day.

Audience laughed because I was introducing my netbook as "my band." The track was made using "band-in-the-box" since I don't have any real music-programming or multi-instrumentalist skills. :) Got my 12-yr old daughter to join us on this one…

Oh yeah, and the "Halfway Home" reference was the "main act" of the Benefit Concert!

Second song from our concert. Sometimes we need to stay strong in the face of darkness, and keep hoping for the moon to shine through the clouds.

Such a beautiful song and so delicately performed.

First song from our first time performing in a concert setting. We were the opening act to the opening act to the main act for a benefit concert at our church. We raised $12,000! So here it is, warts and all! (We were nervous!)

An Easter song, sort of. About standing at that place between night and day, sorrow and joy, fear and hope.
