Have you ever wanted to buy an album containing just the songs
you like?
Have you ever really wanted a new song, only to find out that
it's on an album scheduled for release in six months?
Then this one's for you!
Read on for more details!
From The Song Banks Of Laurel Creek is a CD or cassette containing songs which you select from the current list of my new releases that aren't yet part of a complete album. For each custom CD or cassette you order, the cost is just $2 for the first song, and $1 for each additional song.
This song was written while waiting to hear if my country was going to take military action against Iraq and if our congress would pass a stronger version of the Patriot Act.
I was afraid of the consequences of both!
I wondered if I was about to lose the life style I'd come to know, just because no one had the courage to ask questions, disagree or propose something different. I hoped that setting my heart-felt plea to music would show me that I wasn't alone, would comfort and inspire others, and would contribute something, however small towards changing the behavior of my beloved country.
It just felt better to sing than to be suspicious of my friends and neighbors.
Review: Reactions range from thoughtful silence to tears.
Quotes from Listeners: "Wow!" "This is the most powerful song you've written to date; the most stunning orchestration I've ever heard!"; "You should send this to…" "Regardless of political affiliation, this song makes you think."
This song was written for those of you who are sometimes overwhelmed
by, frustrated with, or cynical about surfing the web. It's about
those of you who love it! This hilarious, yet thought-provoking
song examines how the internet has changed our families, our daily
routines and our attitudes about many different aspects of life.
Review: Audiences laughed and cheered! People still quote lyrics
weeks later.
This song was originally written for, and performed at "Big
Basin Friendship Days", an event held for Soroptimist International
of the Americas at Big Basin Redwood State Park, located in the
Santa Cruz mountains. This moving song takes a detailed look at
those things we normally step over and take for granted by exploring
how we benefit from the history, the presence and the passing
of all living things.
Review: This is my most requested song, receiving standing ovations
from audiences. Not a dry eye in the house!
This song was written just after realizing that the world didn't
actually fall apart on January 1, 2000. But my cute Y2k bugs needed
work! So if you think you're sick of Y2k stuff, this one's for
you!
This whimsical, yet historical song traces the preparation, contradictory
advice, media coverage and fear that preceded Y2K and the reality
of its arrival.
Review: Quotes from listeners: "I love the bugs!" "What
a fantastic orchestration!" "The words actually make
sense!" "This is the funniest, best Y2k song I've heard!"
This song was originally written as a Father's Day gift for
my dad. If you've ever wanted to meet a real cowboy, here's your
chance. If you already know one, you'll surely recognize him here.
This sentimental ballade is a true portrait of my dad's life,
focusing on how he felt as life's changes required him to wear
many different hats, that of family man, city dweller and retiree.
And yes, my daddy is a cowboy!
Review: Quotes from listeners: "Wow, it's not what I expected
at all! It really made me think." "Even the music puts
the cowboy into a different style. It's beautiful and sort of
sad." "The rhythms are interesting and a bit out of step
too." "Boy, I want to meet that man!"
