This is, literally, my musical diary–notes fresh from my pen and recorded in a few hours. You can find my finished works elsewhere; here, it's all about capturing the moment!

If Only I Had Wings

I was feeling a little droopy this morning, so I decided to write a little music. After all, nothing cheers the soul like notes. Right? So here’s a new song in collaboration with Colin Gordon-Farleigh called “I Only I Had Wings.” You can view the PDF or listen to the cheesomatic-computer-automated MP3. By the way, if anyone wants to record their own rendition of this–or any song posted here–rest assured that I’ll gladly listen to it and most likely post it to my music blog.

Your Forever Friend

Poor Colin. I told him over a month ago that I had a draft of a new song and that I’d get him the completed song soon. Well, lately “soon” for me can take months. But soon has finally arrived! Listen to an MP3 of “Your Forever Friend” or play it yourself using this handy-dandy PDF.

What Did You Mean?

At this point I’ve written over 30 songs with Colin Gordon-Farleigh. This latest is a ballad called “What Do You Mean?” I decided to do something different with this post. Usually I just make an MP3 of Finale playing back the score, but this song doesn’t sound right with a machine’s rigid playback. So here is a recording of yours truly singing “What Do You Mean?” in one take into the built in mics on my Mac. Not enough for you? Here’s the music for you to play at the piano.

This Is the Way

I just finished my 34th song with lyricist Colin Gordon-Farleigh. It’s a ballad called “This Is the Way.” If you know any Broadway musical producers, call them and tell them I’ve got their next hit. Listen to the MP3 or download the PDF file.

Travelling

Last night I finished the first of three new songs with Colin Gordon-Farleigh that will be part of a new country CD. The song is called “Travelling (It’s Been a Long, Long Trail)” and you are hereby invited to listen or look. Willie Nelson, look out!

A Long Time Lonely

What better way to start off a new year of blogging than with a little lonesome honky tonk? Here’s one I just finished with Colin Gordon-Farleigh: PDF, MP3.

Trip to Russia

No, I’m not taking a trip to Russia, but one of my songs is. I just got word from Colin Gordon-Farleigh that a number of our songs will be recorded by the Russian group, Lyra. Here’s one called “Benediction” in Russian translation. (PDF, MP3)

20+ with Colin

Colin and I have now written over 20 songs together! That’s a pretty decent output seeing as we started in October. The latest two are “Come, Stay with Me Tonight” (MP3, PDF) and “The Happy Song” (MP3, PDF).

Perfect Love Song

Paul McCartney can have his silly love songs, Colin and I have written the perfect love song. Okay, there’s probably no such thing as a perfect love song, but that’s the title of our new one. Check out the PDF file or the MP3 demo played by Mr. Finale.

1 Comment on Two more love songs with Colin

I just returned from 2 weeks in Uganda. To assuage your eager ears while I catch up with things, here are two songs I wrote with Colin Gordon-Farleigh before I left. The first is “Let Your Fingers Do the Walking” (PDF, MP3), a 1920s-style romp of a song. The second is a ballad called “Colours” (PDF, MP3).
