Thanks for stopping by. My grandson’s birthday was last week and I wrote a guitar piece for him. I’m calling it “The 22nd of January. “ My wife, Sue, plays Old-time music on the banjo. She has introduced me to Old-time fiddle tunes. Some of them have titles that just feature a date like, “The 8th of January.” I’m playing Sue’s Martin D-18 with a thumb and index only finger-style. Hope you enjoy listening to “The 22nd of January.”

Thanks for stopping by. I’ve been doing scores of music and trying not to do too much doomscrolling, it hasn’t been easy. The latest thing I worked on was a theme for a podcast called, Hard Rain and Pink Cadillacs. My songwriting partner, Geoffrey Himes, is a co-host with Mark Finkelpearl. Geoff wrote the words and I wrote the music. Geoffrey, Mark and I collaborated on the production and I recorded everything at my home studio, The Scratching Post, in November 2025. Geoff and Mark are doing some great interviews. Hope you check them out. Here’s the theme.

Here’s wishing everyone all good things for the New Year…
