This tuning sounded good because it seemed
to have a nice overall range. I wrote this in sections. I couldn`t
decided how to put them all together. So I wrote them all out and made
three copies of each one. Then I cut them up and tried putting them
together in different ways. I liked them all but decided on this way.
I threw the two other versions away because I didn`t want to get
confused or be tempted to change it around after a while.

I wrote this for one my best friends in the whole
world Sean Coughlin. The idea was to bring the Irish reel into the 21st
century.

These were some ideas just lying around so I
put them together. I guess I could have called it "Cooking With Me" or
"Buy More Ingredients".

I wrote this a long time ago, but had forgotten about it. I had
the whole thing on tape. One day exploring through several old tapes I
found it. A great windfall! It was complete just the way the tune is
here, so I called it "AS IS". It was a great reminder to get everything
either on tape or written out, preferably both.

Written for the birth of my friend Rodney Arnold`s
son, Drayton. It was a tune I had in my head for a long time. I would
hum it while I was doing dishes or vacuuming, just whatever. It kind of
reminds me of the civil war. Don`t ask me why!

I grew up next to the Shade Mountain in central Pa.
I am so lucky to have spent my youth in the most beautiful country I`ve
ever seen. I started writing this tune when visiting home at Christmas
one year.

I don`t know what the word Vadgamma means.
I saw it on a license plate and it sounded good. The tune is dedicated
to someone who broke my heart and ruined my life.

Not much of a story with this one. Just a song I
wrote over a two month period. I kept refining it.

She does! Another one to an unbelievably beautiful
woman. I`ll always remember her.

One day I just decided I was going to write a song, so I did.
No meaning, just a song that I crafted in a day or two.

The end is the soul leaving the body as it moves on to
another plane of existence. Weird time signatures (11/8, 7/8) in this
one give a feeling of unrest. It is our last passing thoughts and feelings.
