This is part one of a two part Prayer, always signified by two bars in the song but not always as peaceful but as driven. This is a driven work. Stick with it,the music will deliver. The photo is just irony. Pure irony. I don’t eat meat Love. Peace.
Peach is the Color of Blood Sunsets
Call it ambient if you will. I’m fine with it. Long, peaceful, an orchestration for the many sunsets I bleed into on the western coast far above and beyond the sprays and honks of San Francisco, before Orange County came to the Sonoma and Mendocino coast and fenced in the glory, before the cartels took over the mountains for manic weed production surrounded by automatic rifles, barbed wire, booby traps and other things of the Reagan War on Drugs. Dumb. Just a dumb thing to do, hand over vision and replace it with knives and BMWs.
All in all, it’s a tone poem.
When Asteroids Collide
If you enjoy the sound of various synths, arps, organ and squeeky things then you will have fun.
Prayer for Peace: Among the Streams
This is more in I guess you call it a book of songs, Prayer for Peace. This one is carried along by the mellotron with strings. I played this third section after I felt the bar that identifies a Prayer for Peace needed a base, something to carry it along into the spirit, not the heart or mind. So yes, I continue to write music rather than poetry and it is kind of strange. I have never gone this long away from the poem itself by moving the poem into being an instrumental. I hope whoever may hear this finds the intention realized.
Tone poem and prayer. Suite for Piano and Mellotron
Sometimes words are lost, meanings confused and everything becomes twisted out of shape. So, music.
I pray for healing and that the Veil of Mary protect and speed her body and soul to the beauty that is her.
Prayer For Peace in Her Dreaming (quartet for EK)
It began as part of series of solo piano and poems Prayer For Peace, as I had said I would, but then me being me other sounds and music kept drifting in like a song of the planets, as Spinoza heard angels across the galaxy, such was this. Just a quartet of peace and love for a beloved whose voice and eyes have mesmerized since we were teens, yes even to this day. It is truly better to love than anything else in the world, for our friends and our beloved(s).
She Held His Hand
“I want to tell you a song about a girl, but I can’t find my way back home again, and then we did” Just because I copped a phrase from the original

Euphoric Forgetting
This is a chopped up version of the body love piece. It has it’s good points. Hope you enjoy the music trip.

This was intended to be a short piece on love. As I played and added more instrumentation and deepened the lower end the more fun it became; it grew as I found myself singing whatever that may be f…
