Compositions ~ I have been composing for 'hire' or for other people's utilitarian purposes for years. Here is a short list of projects completed.

Woods Hole Theater Company:

  • Death Trap - theme and incidental
  • House of Bernada Alba - music for song lyrics
  • Driving Miss Daisy - theme and incidental
  • The Tempest - incidental music and music for song lyrics

Downwind Productions:

  • Synthony in Three Movements ~ intro music for the movie 'Miss Sarejevo'
  • Film score for 'Automatic Drip' the movie

These compositions are a small part of the hundreds of things I've written in the name of keeping the ball rolling. I will be posting more mp3's soon...

Solo Piano ~ So here I was a teenage singer/songwriter trying to write cheesy love songs on my guitar. I walk into a practice where my lifelong friend Tremaine Parsons was seriously honking on the piano. I was blown away by how he had everything going on: bass, chords, melody. I looked sadly at my guitar. I knew my love affair with her was over.

Switching to piano was hard for about four years, but I dogedly kept at it. Until the piano finally yeilded its secrets.

Now, some thirty years later, I think I am finally learning to tame the beast. As well as playing originals and free improv, I play Debussy, Bach, Joplin, Lacouna, J.P. Johnson, show tunes, and anything else I can wrap my hands around. Hire me for your party and find out!
