A duet arrangement of Eric Wyse’s “Wonderful, Merciful Savior” with piano, guitar and cello accompaniment. My Yamaha YPG-625 was used to play the sampled instrument voices. This is a duet with M.E. Norden at Hope Reformed Church in Grand Rapids…

Another long ago recorded Garage Band-type song with synthesized instruments. This time, a late 20th / early 21st century dance version of Jolly Old St. Nicholas. Incorporates a somewhat repetitious melody loop, but I challenge you to keep your…

Written circa 1998, and performed by the Johnson Controls Automotive Christmas Choir in Holland, Michigan.

In memory and honor of my father, Pharmacist's Mate 1st Class (2nd Class during the battle) Wilbur Garmond Dekker, USNR/USMC (Bronze Star medal); and all those who fought for, and defended, the island of Iwo Jima; February - March, 1945…

Seek, and you will find; for sure.

A spoof salute to Nextel ...or is it a spoof of country music? The lyrics might be too much of an inside joke unless one has worked for Sprint-Nextel, particularly in their Engineering department. Sadly, Nextel iDEN is scheduled to be dismantled…
