Tunes

Every so often, when I sit down to practice, an interesting snippet of melody or chord progression emerges out of my ramblings and entices me to spend some time developing it. As a result I’ve written a lot of tunes, some of which are actually worth playing. In early 2007 I published a collection of my original tunes called A is for Avocado.

Since then I’ve continued to write tunes, and several of my favorites are posted here. I hope you will enjoy playing these, and let me know what you think.

• Warren’s Favorite: This jig in A is dedicated to Warren Argo. Written July, 2008.
• The Adirondack: This reel in A appears on the first Elixir CD Super Tonic. Written in 2007.
• West Street: A reel in F named after my house in Brattleboro. Written in October, 2008.
• Hemlock Jig: a jig in G, written summer 2008.
• Pine Street Homestead: a birthday waltz for Ruth Hazzard in the key of G, written November 2009.
