New Podcast - They Call Me Crazy

Falling in love is a funny thing. It's often not very rational. You just fall. Even if you shouldn't. I recorded it for my non-typical love songs CD, A Tribute to Love.

New Podcast - Silhouette of Longing Love

I wrote "Silhouette of Love" while leaving Zilker Park, here in Austin. I spent a good forty-five minutes practicing in the heat of the day and wanted some traveling music. I started playing a melody.

It was simple, beautiful, and touching. And as I walked I had an image in my mind. And it's funny. Just about everyone who heard the tune recognized what I was not verbalizing. When I started playing, the song was to be called "Pottery Girl", but this is what came out. It was not just a "Silhouette of Love", but a "Silhouette of Longing Love." The song was inspired by an ex with whom I split on poor terms.

As I lay in bed time tonight, I thought it was kind of ironic. Part of the reason for breakup was that I was unable to put her first. I thought too much about me. That's what I find ironic. This song is not about "Pottery Girl", it's about me. It's about my own longing for love and the shadows that linger over it. I guess I still haven't learned.

Well, whatever the reason for the song, I think it is a touching reminder that love comes in all shapes and sizes. It's not always happy and blissful. Sometimes you don't get the girl and ride off into the sunset. Sometimes you're left longing and hoping for that Ever After.

New Podcast - Here's to the Dreamers

The movie, Anne of Green Gables, by Lucy Maud Montgomery and staring Megan Follows has long been an inspiration to me. I first saw it in high school. It's sort of a comfort movie for me. While watching in before bedtime late one evening, the inspiration of Anne came to me. The song was recorded for my CD, A Tribute to Love.

New Podcast - Star of the County Down

This is probably one of the first Irish songs I heard in my first year playing Celtic music. Just about everyone has a recording of this song. It took me years to create an arrangement that I liked. That's a shame, because it really tells a beautiful, visual story. I think that's the reason it is so popular with so many musicians. I'd love to find more songs like this one.

New Podcast - A Faint Heart

A couple years ago, a local songwriter took interest in the Brobdingnagian Bards. He asked to co-write a song with us and almost immediately sent this song. A year later, I wrote music for the song and added it to my non-typical love songs CD A Tribute to Love.
