Light of the Morning Sun
A song inspired by 'the chorus of angels' - you know who you are :)
To Each Generation a Rose
This is a song about families - what we receive from those who've come before us, and what we'll pass along. It's actually a song for my mother, and all the other Roses in my life.

I do mostly acoustic folk music as well as some celtic music. I value well-crafted songs, with solid lyrics and a good melody line. Musicality - harmonies, interesting guitar work - draws me into a song, so I try to bring these qualities into my own music.
