This is a poem by A. A. Milne from his children's book, WINNIE-THE_POOH. The musical setting and tune is my own. I just discovered that there is one more verse, so I'll probably record it again.
That's great Paul. I'm looking forward to hearing it. When I started playing this song, my sleeping kitty woke up right away and looked over my way, right where my speaker is. And she started with her slow blinks. A sure sign she loves your song! 😻😸😄

I recorded this to sound like something the early Beatles would have done. There are about ten Beatle songs referenced in it. My children (now all adults) were singing on this and I like the end where they can be heard laughing.

Hi Sandra - thanks for your comment. In answer to your question I had a forgotten I had found another verse to the poem, so, no I haven’t recorded more.it’s been a long time and I’ll have to re-learn how I played the song! I see that the third verse is about a chicken!

Did you ever record this song again with the further lyrics that you found? I think this is so cute! I love this little song. I just wish it was longer. I love your guitar playing on this.

The Ave Maris Stella is a popular liturgical hymn of unknown origin. It can be dated back to at least the 9th century for it is preserved in the Codex Sangallensis, a 9th century manuscript now in the Swiss Monastery of St. Gallen. Its appearance…

This a song for the lenten season, contemplating what it must have been like for Jesus during His 40 days in the desert after being baptized by St. John, His cousin.

This a song about St. Joseph, the foster father of Jesus. It is a prayer to ask him to intercede for us.

Papa Joseph, the foster father of Jesus…
St. Joseph, Please intercede for Clare who will pass into Eternity any hour now. You are the patron of the dying and terror of demons. Protect Clare's soul dear St. Joseph. Be with her as she surrenders to Jesus. May the heart of her soul make the transition in total Trust to her Saviour and Lord Our Beloved Jesus. May she know Peace for all Eternity. Also St. Joseph through your prayers may her family be comforted and consoled in the loss of her physical presence being with them. Amen
This is the Sinner's Prayer or the Jesus Prayer sung in Latin. I have an acoustic version uploaded and this version a cappella. I've sung this in the key of F, one step lower than the acoustic version.

I started writing this song in the summer (August) of 2015 and finished it recently. The bulk of the tune was there but not the words. I recorded it using a bouzouki which is tuned GDAG, low to high though I wrote it on the guitar. This is now…
The melody for this prayer came to me on Pentecost Sunday, two years ago. I didn't upload up it at the time because I wanted to sing it properly and had intended this to be a demo recording only. I was reminded of the song this morning watching…

Oh my gosh, Paul, it's Kendra Von Esh - I have God bumps the whole song - so beautiful praise God you did this and so many of these other songs! I will be sharing this via social for sure! Thanks for letting me know about this!
This a prayer given to St. Gertrude which I put to music a few years ago. If said devoutly it will free 1,000 souls from purgatory. Purgatory is where we go to get "cleaned up" if we aren't quite ready to be with God.
Eternal Father, I offer…

I have been trying to find a way to help and being a "releaser" gives me motivation to strengthen my own life while helping others. I hope I prove worthy enough to help the souls in purgatory through my prayers. Please pray for my father, mother, and sister who have all passed. Pray that they make the transition from Purgatory to heaven.
i wrote this for the Martin Guitar and Lifespan guitar strings contest and didn't get anywhere with it! it's a simple song with a simple message to love one another as Our Lord loves us. it easy to say but hard to do! i initially called the song…
More "love is mislabeled" music.
ROCKS
How many times have you heard someone say, "I thot it would go on forever"?
How many times have you scratched your head and thot, "How clever."?
There's a rock in Yosemite that will probably stand…
James, ThANKS for taking the time to comment on my songs. You are certainly a prolific writer and have so much uploaded. Isn't it a blessing to be gifted by God this way. There is tremendous satisfaction from making music!

Finally, finished this one. Its been a battle finding time and fending off a few bouts with allergies and colds etc...A very windy winter and early spring season in the desert was one of the worst in many years. Hoping to get to working on some…
Another Live performance with former band mates in Scartaglen back in 1988 on the NPR show Mountain Stage. This time a piece of Gaelic mouth music followed by 3 reels. Maybe the most complex arrangement of a set of tunes that we ever did.
First new one from me in a long time.
Kind of a love song, I guess.
Recorded in my new "studio" (3rd bedroom in the new house). Almost up and running now... shine and don't stop wondering!

New original from me, hot off the old wotsit.
When it was half written yesterday, I was considering binning it as a throwaway exercise - I do that quite often. But I played the songwriting demo to someone else and, er, apparently I should finish…
This is a remix of this song.
It was recorded in 2010, and I was in a hurry to post it elsewhere because I'm so fond of the song itself. But I've always hated the old mix - I lost the essence of the guitars and choirs during mastering because…
While I was writing 'Afterall' I was also putting this song together. This is about a ghost who is haunted by his own past and what mistakes he had made in his former life.
Recorded using Reaper DAW & Jamstix virtual drummer software.
This is an ode for a good friend of mine that had took his own life at the end of last year. I was in the midst of writing some other songs and it stopped me in my tracks. I just wrote basically how I felt about this tragic ending to a very special…

That's great Paul. I'm looking forward to hearing it. When I started playing this song, my sleeping kitty woke up right away and looked over my way, right where my speaker is. And she started with her slow blinks. A sure sign she loves your song! 😻😸😄 Sandra
Hi Sandra - that was my children! They helped sing and clap at the end of the song. They are all grown now ranging from late 20’s to early 30’s.
Oh, forgot to add my name on that laughing question. 😄 Sandra
Hi Paul. I was always curious about the laughing at the end of this song, which I really like. I thought perhaps they're your nieces and/or nephews? 😊

I love this one! Everything! The guitar, your voice, and of course the lyrics which is a great prayer! Thank you Paul! 🙏👌♥️
Like your message. Very nice.
I like this, and I'm an atheist.
How lovely!
