I try not to post a lot of covers here, but I thought this turned out OK. The song is from the movie The Alamo, made famous I think by The Brothers Four. I was asked to do it for the funeral of a friend’s husband; this was their courting song.

Walk in the Rain!
Here’s a little happy/dorky tune that I wrote as part of fawm.org (Feburary Album Writing Month) this year. A little fancier version will appear on the annual compilation CD of the Pittsburgh Songwriters’ Circle. I’m looking forward to it!
An old-time medley
Here are a couple of songs that I like to play together. The first is one that I wrote in a hotel room as I was learning to play the banjo, named after the location of the hotel: Washington DC. The second is an old-time Appalachian dance/fiddle tune, Camp Meeting on the Fourth of July.
The Bells of Spring!
I wrote this one last fall, looking for something uplifting. Little did I know the pandemic would hit in the spring! It was so fun to set up this video with Ellen Gozion, as well as photographs from my friends Robin Mejia and Kirk Thoma!

I Live In A Box!
More quarantine videos! I cowrote this song with Nancy Gunderson, who I only know through fawm.org, in February 2020 before the coronavirus hit. And now it seems, we all live in a box…
The lyrics are mostly Nancy’s, lightly edited for smoother singing by me; I added the music, which was really fun!
Time Between Trains (Susan Werner)
Fooling around with a little video during the coronavirus quarantine. This is a great song by a great singer-songwriter, Susan Werner: Time Between Trains.
