This is a newly recorded version of a song I originally wrote and recorded in 2005 which can be heard o nthe playlist/album Songs Of The Heart. I re-did this for my son, Aidan's wedding as it seems really appriate for a wedding song.
This is the Ave Maria prayer - the Hail Mary in Latin. The guitar is in a full E tuning with the Capo on the 5th fret. I recorded the voice and guitar together. This is the first recording of it so I may do it again to get the best performance.
This is the true story of a poor Teddy Bear who lies out on my lawn year round - winter, summer, spring and fall, in rain, snow or shine.
Dead-y Bear
Dead-y Bear
Why are you lying there?
Does no one love you,
Dead-y Bear?
Dead…
Matt Talbot
On the corner Matt Talbot stood waiting, waiting
With his pockets empty and thirst raging, raging
Hoping for a friend to pass by
And invite him inside O’Meara’s for drink or two
It was Dublin, Ireland, 1884…
This song is also on The Call Of God CD. The mix is a little different, but the same performance.
JUDAS
He walked with the Lord as one of the twelve
And Jesus loved him as much as the rest
He ate and he drank and he talked…
This song started shortly before Christmas (2015) and I recorded it in January of 2016. This is a basic demo of it.
OUR KING IS COMING
Leaves are falling
Fall is leaving
Winter snow will soon be here
Christmas coming
People rushing…
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.

Thank you for your kind words. I will certainly pray for your son and mother. You can reach me by email at plisney1@aol.com if you'd like a Cd of the song

Your song was incredible, you are such a gifted and blessed artist.
I have always loved The St. Gertrude Prayer and you have made it come alive. Thank you for making my day.
Please pray for my son who passed away 4/7/16 and my mother on 7/18/17. Thank you again, I am a new fan!

I will pray for all your intentions. Don't despair, Our Lord is kind and merciful and has already atoned for your sins and mine! Rejoice and be glad! He will see that your loved ones and all those your sins affected will have the grace to come to Him. Be at peace!

please pray for my son who was born out of wedlock and suffered MUCH from being fatherless, like me. Please pray for his conversion/healing. Many addictions and pain from me being so selfish!!! My list of sins are very, very long and serious. '-( It's not I'm OK you're OK in this world. What a lie! '-(((( God have mercy!

This is my latest song which was inspired after seeing a video of Archbishop Fulton Sheen where he talks about the devil. At the close of the talk he tells hearing our Lord's cries and how he responded.
TAKE ME DOWN
And I woke…
Very nice! Sometimes it's hard to avoid cliches in gospel/spiritual, but you did a really good job giving this an innocent introspection and earnestness. Yeah.

Another new song. This is based around Jesus telling us not be afraid and to have faith. I plan to have my friend Mike add another guitar to it, hopefully soon.

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!

On my way…
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…
