Simple Music, Simple Enjoyment

Some of the music you have heard before, some I have written, but all of it is played by me. Simple, easy listening. I hope you enjoy.

Scarborough Fair by Simon and Garfunkel

Ok, this is my version of it. I love the natural haunting sound this gives.

I hope they call me on a mission

Favorite song of LDS kids around the world. I loved singing it as a boy, and even more as a father as my own sons prepare...

Michael McClain's Shepherd

Great song from Forgotten Carols. I didn't write the music, it is a little more jazzy than normal, but I love it.

Sundown

Great song from Gordon Lightfoot. I hope you enjoy...

This is a piece written by a friend of mine. It is part of a school project. He had to create the song and physically write the music out by hand. I think he will win the competition. He is 11. (12 on Dec 31!) Good job Jared. Sounds great!

Yes this was done by WHAM... but it is a great song. Enjoy

If you could call to Kolob

Ok, so I altered the name slightly, so none of you would have to get a dictionary (trust me!) This is a favorite of mine and was meant to be played slowly, and reverently but this song is about possibilities, and eternity... It is screaming for more strength. If you don't like it, I will understand, but I think you will!

I cry the day I take the tree down

This is a great song by one of my favorite composers, Michael McClean. The song is supposed to be jazzy, but slow... I decided to speed it up and make it more up-beat. That isn't the way it is performed, but I think it had good results. Enjoy!!!

Intro for "Let Come the Rain"

This is a song I have been working on for months. I wanted something that was technically done well, yet very simple. I didn't want anything complicated and I think this song does it just right. I have lyrics and I will be finding a singer for it within the next few weeks. I hope you like it! I love it!

Silent Night by Chip Daivs

This is a GREAT song. It was done by Steamroller many years ago. I got my hands on the sheet music and did my best to copy it. It came out great! Just perfect for the season. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Wishing... with Vocals

I have a special treat. Lisa Stratton, a good friend of mine agreed to help me with this song and she did vocals on this Phantom of the Opera favorite. I hope you enjoy.

Wishing you were somehow... TEMP

This is the music on a TEMP basis... When done... this one will have words!

Sounds Of Silence

Great song from the late 1960's. My mom would play this to me all the time and me and my brothers and sister would sing along. Great tune. I hope I captured it.

Turn the Page

Classic Rock, with a simple tune. Enjoy!

Practicing my chords

I have to practice my progressions. I have a list of them that I do. I start in the key of C, then do them all in C# then D then Eb.... I think you get the idea. By doing this I can stay somewhat nimble on the keyboard and when I get ready to start writing again, it will be easier, (both on my fingers and your ears). You might not like this... but since this is my podcast and I like it.... well... enjoy

Hallelujah from Shrek

This is a great song. I loved it when I heard it and was excited when I started playing it. Great stuff...

Superman

I love 5 for Fighting. I didn't do great on this episode... but still fun to listen to

Sara - Arms of an Angel cover....

This is a great song, sad, distant... and personally touching. It is slow, and somewhat longer than most of my other stuff... this one comes in a more than 6 minutes... but is a good song...

Jazz

This song started with a simple bass line.... then I wanted to see what I could do with it using a piano and a saxophone. It is short... and fun. Good "tap-your-feet" feel to it.

Hymns - Come to Zion

This is a fun song, I think the tune is actually... "What a friend we have in Jesus...". This one is fun for me to play.

Hymn - There is a Green Hill

This is a very simple song, but one that LDS people sing often. It is short, calming and one that reminds us of the events that made our Savior suffer for us so we can go home.

Dr Horrible - My Eyes

This is a GREAT song with wonderful harmonies.

Dr Horrible - Penny's Song

I love Felicia Day. She did a great job. She comes across as a simple girl, and her music is just as simple. Nothing extravagant or outrageous, just calm, simple and beautiful.

Dr Horrible - Freeze Ray

This is a great song, the lyrics are catchy and intelligent, the concept is funny. This is a family favorite. If you don't know who Dr Horrible is, just search on You-Tube and watch the video... Very Very Funny!

Jamin

Simply easy going jazz. I wanted something simple to follow to see where it led.

Tech

Too much Lady Gaga on the radio. I wanted to try my hand at some raw synth sounds. This is really short (less than one minute) but I wanted to see what could be done.

Dual Flutes

I was trying to work with building harmonies using flutes. I started with a simple bass line and then built a simple, flowing tune. Then I worked on building a harmony based on it. I added some voices to give some depth to it too.

Round and Round

I wanted something that would work as a round. I tried several different instruments, and even added some drums and a little heavy guitar just to mix things up a bit.

Music Box

I have always loved music boxes, the tinking sound of the barbs against the metallic strips of metal, and, if you listen really close, you can hear the fan being unwound as it plays. This song was an attempt to have a distinct beginning and end, with a middle that was quite different. I also wanted to be simple... like a real music box.
