Simple Music, Simple Enjoyment

Summary: Great easy listening songs. I play them all, I have written some of them. I like instramental music, like flutes, guitars, pianos. I am light on the drums, very light on vocals, but the music is fun.

 Growing Young | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 278

This is a great song. Please enjoy the easy, smooth tune. If I had a voice, I would sing the lyrics, but as it is, my fans demand I stay silent. To those who follow me, I appreciate your support (Ed, Ben and all others...)

 Greensleeves | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 162

A slightly jazzy version of Greensleeves. Lots of parts, lots of movement. Tell me if you like it.

 True Colors | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 199

True Colors was by Cindy Lauper and Phil Collins also did a version a few years ago. This is the first of my songs to feature me singing. I am not a singer, I have not been trained, I don't even claim any talent, but since this is my corner of the world, I can do what I want... It would not be too much of a stretch of the imagination to think that someday this song will be featured in music text books as “the song with the most things wrong with it...” There were many mistakes, but baby's learn to walk and they fall a lot, and since I am not getting paid for this.... It simply doesn't matter. I chose this song because the range of notes was very small, the dynamics were simple and I really, really like this song. I didn't make the music complicated (ie no drums, single piano....). So, there will be others songs that have me singing on them but this is the first. Enjoy.

 Clean | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 322

This song uses chord progression that walks on top itself... the Bass stays the same while the higher notes walk down in a chromatic pattern. G, F#, D and C or a I, VII, V, IV. This was not written with a guitar in mind but the chords just seemed to want a guitar sound. I used two different pianos. The lower one for the "male" voice and the higher one for the "female" and I think it turned out nice.

 Witness redux | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 228

This is the EXACT same song as Witness but with a slightly more upbeat rhythm. Saturday's Warrior did this. Took the theme music from a ballad to a heavy rock/drums version and I loved it... This is much the same. I love them both (it's a great song)

 Witness | File Type: audio/mpeg | Duration: 298

Over 20 years ago I came across this song. It never became popular, but the melody was awesome. I have played with it over the years. This is one version of it. I love the song, I hope you enjoy it too. There is another version of it here http://mrrobert5823.podomatic.com/entry/2012-10-25T18_06_28-07_00
