House of the Rising Sun II House of the Rising Sun II
After a gazillion listens, I decided the pace of my arrangement of House of the Rising Sun was a bit too fast and that speed worked against the pathos I was aiming for. This version is a tad slower and, I think, works better.

Short Roll in the Hay Short Roll in the Hay
Bluegrass composition about, well, a short roll in the hay. There's a harmonic glitch in it that I'm too lazy to fix. You may or may not notice it.

March to Dixie March to Dixie
A blend of marching band and Dixieland ... hence the name of the song. It bugs the heck out of me that Sound Click has no category for marching band music so I wing it on categories.

Talkin' ShBlues Talkin' Sh** Blues
This is a talking blues song about a dude growing and smoking marijuana. The lyric includes a scatological term for marijuana (in case you're sensitive about such things).

March of the Pumpkins March of the Pumpkins
Picture a football field at half-time, with the marching band made up of pumpkins. I received an e-mail from an elementary school that used the composition, complete with costumes.
