(Remastered 22/10/2021) I found this one while I was digging through the shoe-box for the 1994 songs. Apparently I wrote it on 10th November 1995. Foolishly, I thought it would only take a week or so to record... I was originally expecting…

I wrote this one in response to a song writing challenge from the Minnesota Association of Songwriters. The title had to be Mississippi Moon and it had to have a I V VI I II chord progression somewhere in the song. Over 20 writers have signed…

Originally recorded for my 2019 RPM Challenge album, "The Dark Side of the Moo." This is how I cry musically. I added some verbs, an additional minor organ line, tweaked the bass, and remixed it on 09.05.20.

(Remastered 22/10/2021) Now here's a bit of an oldie - the second song I ever wrote. In... 1978! I think I played it once, or maybe twice, at school assemblies. My musical peers and colleagues back then dismissed it as corny/rancid pop music…

This is the Sequence for the Mass for the Feast of Corpus Christi set to music. This is the short version because the long version has a lot of verses. In my recording I sing the first verse as an introduction and then go to the short version…

Once upon a time, in a land far away... Just a minute! xOx

This song scares me. This song stresses me out. This song confuses me. I could write a song about how messed up this song makes me feel. Is it the best song I've ever written? Not even close. Why then do I insist to myself that it's the…
