Technically, I am seven years old and have no idea when I will ever be eight. I was born on Labor day, September 5, 1955 (my mother was not amused) and Labor Day has only fallen on my Birthday seven times! (Hey, if it works for them Leap Year kids, it works for me!) Chronologically, I have been around for 54 years however. I am a semi-retired Folksinger, retired Army Bandsman, currently teaching Guitar Ensemble, String Ensembles, Concert Choir, and Recorder Ensemble, grades 4 - 8. Next time I retire though, I am going right back into folk singing. (It keeps me humble)
Songs are like children. They have to get out on their own and find their own identity. I started the process by writing them, but you complete the process by learning them, passing them down to young minds, and keeping them alive. I sincerely hope that one or two of my little songs will live on past the time when anyone will know I actually wrote them. It is the sweetest form of immortality I could possibly think of. You can find free MP3s of my folk songs on Soundclick.com
here.
Leave me a message if you drop by. I would love to know what you think of my primitive efforts. I will also be mentioning that my songs will be written down here, so don't get stuck in a loop. I have had to depend on people who are wiser than me in the ways of technology all of my life. It doesn't bother me, but I am grateful that they are so gracious as well as generous. If you need any of these in a different format, give me a shout and if I am not in the middle of concert season, I will be glad to consider your request.

Product Number: 1012000421 Series:String Ensemble Pages: 12 Description: A variation of the famous French Folk Song written with just enough of a difference that my players had to watch what they were doing. I use this for sight reading quite often.
Genre: Educational Instrument: Orchestra
Product Number: 1012000420 Series:String Ensemble Pages: 3 Description: Frere Jacque, Kookabura, White Coral Bells and Kanon for beginning strings. Sometimes it's nice to have something like this a-round! Genre: Educational Instrument: Orchestra
Product Number: 1012000455 Series:Recorder Pages: 2 Description: Oh My Dear Friend Augustine is a Traditional German Folk Song that can be played with or without accompaniment.
Genre: Folk, Traditional Instrument: Recorder Duet
Product Number: 1012000397 Series:Guitar Ensemble Description: The same cactus juice they make Tequila out of, sweetens my tea. Agave Honey (or Agave nectar) has less calories than sugar and it is said that it does not raise your glycemic index. I just know that it is very tasty and adds a southwestern flavor to our kitchen. The ensemble piece is for first to second year students and hopefully they will enjoy it.
Genre: Fingerstyle Instrument: Guitar
Product Number: 1012000512 Series:Vocal Ensemble Pages: 4 Description: This is a traditional Spanish Lullaby that is typically sung as a Christmas Carol. My students taught it to me, and I did the best I could to do justice to it. If you can suggest any improvements, I would be happy to consider them. The carol is sung in Spanish and the phonetic pronunciation is included on the separate sheet, as close as I could get it. Genre: Christmas Voicing: Sa/Ssa/Sab Grade: Grade 2, Instrument: Vocal

Genre: Fingerstyle Instrument: Guitar
Product Number: 1012000456 Series:Recorder Ensemble Pages: 2 Description: This is printed with and without shorthand notation. A first year ensemble should be able to play this without any trouble.

Product Number: 1012000479 Series:Classroom Recorder Description: I always liked this better than that English Drinking Song they put Frank Key's poem to! Genre: Educational Instrument: Recorder Duet
Product Number: 1012000540 Series:Recorder Ensemble Pages: 2 Description: This was actually a request from two brothers who wanted to play this for their grandpa. How do you turn down a request to play for grandpa? Heck, I'm a grandpa! Genre: Educational Voicing: Duet Grade: Intemediate Instrument: Recorder Duet
Product Number: 1012000378 Series:Guitar Ensemble Pages: 1 Description: This is for second to third year guitar students, or guitar students with some facility. Although it is all in first position, it moves fairly rapidly and has a lot of interconnecting parts. There is no shorthand notation available for this piece. By the time they get to this level, they should no longer need it. If you have differently abled students who do however, pop me off a quick e-mail and I will be glad to oblige. As a differently abled teacher, I understand the need to keep all students engaged and motivated. Genre: Christmas Instrument: Guitar
Product Number: 1012000459 Series:Classroom Recorder Pages: 2 Description: Arirang is a traditional Korean Folk song that I grew up with and have always loved. It is also very useful for explring the pentatonic scale. Genre: Educational Instrument: Recorder Duet
Product Number: 1012000836 Series:Guitar Ensemble Pages: 4 Description: I didn't much like an arrangement I was using so I wrote this one. The same thing will probably happen with someone else and they will write another one. It's nice to think I have provided such inspiration! Genre: Educational Voicing: Trio Grade: Grade 1 Instrument: Guitar
Product Number: 1012000533 Series:Guitar Ensemble Pages: 4 Description: This was requested by a student. She wanted to play it in her church, but when she showed it to a friend, the freind showed it to the rest of the class and they got mad at me. They accused me of holding out on them. I figured I'd better get this up so nobody thinks I'm holding out on them! Genre: Fingerstyle Voicing: Trio Grade: Intemediate Instrument: Guitar
