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.

I just recently came across this poem by G.A. Studdert Kennedy, an Anglican priest from the early 20th Century. I heard it recited by Archbishop Fulton Sheen on a video on You Tube and thought that it would make a good song. The melody came really…

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…

Here's a song for my wife.

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 inspired by the booklet THE FATHER SPEAKS TO HIS CHILDREN, private revelation from God the Father to a Catholic nun, Mother Eugenia which has an imprimatur. God The Father Of All Mankind We your children from the depths of…

This is my latest recording. It took awhile to get it mixed to my liking, though it's not very complicated. The guitar is my Breedlove 12 string. The drums and piano sound is from myRoland keyboard. In considering prophecy one needs a good deal…

This song is called Oremus, which I believe means "Let us pray". I wrote it on my Breedlove 12 string. OREMUS Mary, Mary You gave your yes To Angel Gabriel from heaven sent Mary, Mary Hail, full of grace Chosen above all mothers From…

This is my latest recording just finished last night - 1/30/17. It was written over the Christmas period and tells the salvation story in a simple way. It was recorded using a 12 string Breedlove, the main vocal and guitar recorded at the same…

The Benedictus was the song of thanksgiving uttered by Zechariah on the occasion of the circumcision of his son, John the Baptist. The canticle received its name from its first words in Latin (Benedictus Dominus Deus Israel, “Blessed be the Lord…

This is about my dear mother-in-law. I recorded it in October of 2016. I recorded the guitar and main vocal together and dubbed the harmony afterwards. There is also a subdued keyboard part in the background. HUMMINGBIRDS AND BUTTERFLIES…

This is a demo of my latest song. I may keep it as the final or re-record it. I played the gutiar and sang it live and there is a mic pop/bump that is audible. i added the vocal harmony afterwards, of course. It's about growing up Catholic as…

This is the two voice version for men's and women's voices. Being a tenor, I am singing both parts (making sure the women's part wasn't too high!)

I am in the process of writing a setting for Mass (Roman Catholic). This is the HOLY HOLY HOLY. It was written and recorded on guitar (key of C, capo 5th fret, plaing G). At some point I should arrange it for piano or organ so that it can be performed…

This is my latest song which came about while I was shoveling snow. It is about work being a prayer when offered to the Lord and describes the concept we have in the Catholic faith of offering our prayers for others - both living and gone. Purgatory…

In the 13th century, a Portugese woman who'd been demonically oppressed resolved to do the unthinkable by taking her own life by drowning herself in the Tagus River. On her way to the river, she passed a shrine erected in honor of the great orator…

These are the backing tracks for the full version of the song including the choral voices but minus the main vocal and harmony vocals. The song was created on a Roland XP-50 16 track workstation.

This is what is said at the end of Mass "Go in peace to love and serve the Lord" "Thanks Be to God" (Deo Gratias)

This a the acoustic bersion. I recorded it live, so to speak, recording both the guitar nd vocal at the same time. It makes it harder ot get a good recording this way but the voice and guitar seem more connected this way. In the 13th century…

This was written probably about 25 years ago but the recording is from 2006. The production of it was really inspired by the band BIG COUNTRY.
