October 24, 2013 First heard this sweet and cheery song, and so many others I performed long ago, on Judy Collins' treasured "Wildflowers" album, and likewise, I learned my piano (Korg harpsichord mode) accompaniment from her superb "Songbook" of the period. Cello, oboe, harp and flute parts produced on my synth keyboard. Glad this offers a counterbalance to my most recent NOLA dirge (Haunted House of the Rising Sun). The artwork is JT's deft actualization of an image I had in my head as I

Sept. 30, 2013 I always heard my cover of this Newman gem with a cello part in my head, and now I can achieve that with the Yamaha keyboard. Sort of, anyway. The blown bottle and ending organ and bass sounds are also new additions to my early rep version of harpsichord-only accompaniment. The 1970 photograph I've chosen for a visual is one I snapped as a teen of a "Brussels sprout" hard at work on a sidewalk in that city on my first backpacking trip to Europe.

Can't Help Falling in Love

[for Margaret] This was one of my mother's favorite songs—certainly her favorite Elvis tune. I have fond memories of singing the upper harmony to her melody line whenever it came on the radio. It was a fitting choice then as the closing song for a live set performed at her senior center shortly before her death. That was the last occasion Mom had to see me sing and play and also the final time for me to hear her say just how proud of me she was. There is a first here, too: I've included a few

Never trying to transpose the key—where's the piano capo, inventors?—it was a bad fit for my high soprano back

July 1, 2013 For JT's 40th birthday a couple of years ago, I wrote him a two-verse limerick [http://tinyurl.com/plbfb76 ]. Now, for his 42nd birthday today, I composed a melody to actually work with the rhythm and the AABBA rhyming of my stanzas, expanding the original words only with some repetition to have it fit my music. After an opening minute of "speaking in tongues," the waltz theme includes three vocal tracks, acoustic guitar, drumsticks and Korg piano on vibraphone mode. The Korg track

I probably will rework "Rose, Lis..." and "Hard Lovin' Loser" eventually. In the meanwhile here's a short and simple tune from the Judy Collins' "Songbook."
