The millionaires are doing just fine, thanks---but the rest of us are barely getting by!!!!

I've got it all--but the one I love.....

A hot exterior hides a cold, cold heart....

I'll lose control but maybe find love instead....

I dedicated this song to my old friend, Ed Begley, Jr. and to all those who are working to make this a cleaner and better place to live!!!

That's all I am--just another lonely man....

Is my future just to be....your ancient history?

Here's a great way to keep some peace at home!!!

She was mysterious, gorgeous...and we fell in love immediately...but her parents were against us being together and sent her back to their country, leaving me to search for her forever.

A couple looks back nostalgically on the magical moment when they first met.

Revenge is sweet!!!

Your lips are inches away but I've been hurt too badly too recently--and the last thing I want right now is to fall in love!!!

Some folks like being in charge--but not me!!!

He overheard a couple breaking up--and it sounded a bit close to home for him...

They broke up once before and he was miserable--and now that they're back together he wants to keep it that way!!!

This is one song of mine I hope will some day be played at someone's wedding reception!!!

I tried to catch some of the defiance, optimism and spirit of being young as told through the voice of someone who no longer is!!!

Sometimes it's hard to imagine how to make it through a cold and lonely night.

Hello, This morning I rendered a Mozart piano sonata. I can see from the midi file that this is a live performance captured from a midi keyboard into a computer. (A live performance doesn't always line up on the bar lines and other such "humanizations…

Contemporary blues, a new vision of blues music!

i think its evolutionary. let the listener decide. the orignal title was 'idont want a relationship, i just want to make music with you'

A favorite style of my wife... like Kris Kristofferson, in a way. Maybe more folk than Outlaw Country...? The song has great meaning for me. Hope you like it! Doug

SIX OCLOCK SHADOWS At six o'clock the windmill throws it's shadow on the grave The cattle chew their cud and lowly low above the one we didn't save The broken body buried there beneath the sod we carried there that day And tho we hold each…

The intro here is a fuzzed up guitar harmonic and a harmonica. I'd like to take that idea to another level. Enjoy!

The time will come and our grand-grand-grandchildren will not know how open and easy we (at least some of us) were. How we was loved, grieve, fought-then-reconciled. ...and again, again. ~vintage synths do not tolerate midi/programming/planning…

From my RPM Challenge 2011 effort. Originally this wasn't an instrumental, but the time pressures of RPM changed that.

I plugged my Fender Mustang directly into the Zoom H2 and monitored with head phones while sitting on my bed and played around. This is a compressed version of one of the things I did. I've been pretty sick the past few days but I needed to…

Flinch I'm guilty I took the bait again And here I am again Always with the same stupid grin And I didn't go as planned Few things do I've learned From the top I pulled it but I didn't see how far you'd go didn't I see you flinch…

The music in the video is the harmonic series from the lowest E on the piano, 41.2 Hz, and the 16 harmonics above it. No other pitch is allowed. I used Paul Stretch's filtering and compression to accomplish this BUT the piece was not stretched…

This is a song in two perspectives. It opens with a twinkling theme which moves throughout space. The first perspective is a man who is lost in a world of worry and has delusions of grandeur. He can't possibly get over the death of his father…
