An 'An Dro' is a type of dance popular in Brittany.
When my irish gets up, tunes like this one come flying out. I wrote this tune in about half an hour.
As I understand it, 'atascadero' is spanish for 'a place where you get stuck.'
I was in a deultory frame of mind when I wrote this, and it was evening. Nuff said?
This is either the soundtrack for someone who can't sleep, or maybe it's just the way you feel under when you can't. Interesting, but not exactly soothing.
"Mondays Child is full of grace, Tuesday's Child is fair of face..." a tune inspired by french traditional music.
Black Point Forest was the site of the Renaissance Pleasure Faire for many years until it was leveled to build condominiums or something. Thus passes the oldest old-growth oak forest in California, as well as a place of many fond memories. |

Based on 60's spy thriller movies: A tune in search of a melody. I think it's funny. |

| Ave' Imperator! |

The title says it all, really. A regal tune. |

This is my response to the irish slip-jig "The Rocky Road to Dublin". |

Paso Doble de
San Francisco |
|
|
A 'Paso Doble' is a spanish dance... I'm not sure whether it is Galatian, Asturian, or ???. Most of the Paso Dobles I've learned are named after cities, so I named this one after my home town. I started writing this tune in 1995, and finished it in 1999. Can you say 'indolent'? |

I figure that if you can talk the talk and walk the walk, it sounds something like this. |

| Bourree Sovee' |

A little bourree to honor my gallic ancestry. 'Sovee' is my mother's maiden name. |

This tune hit me in a very eructatory manner. Therefore, I set it down as eructatiously as I could.
Eruction=belch.
Yep, I just belched it out. :) |

Combrogi Call
~ Waltz in Five |
|
Combrogi is middle english for companion. I built this tune to have something to annoy my musician friends into playing music. They usually start playing just so I'll stop. The Waltz in Five is a traditional french tune, and yes, there is a waltz done in 5/4. Of course, if you drink enough booze, all waltzes seem to be in 5/4. |

| Court Dance |

This is a kind of pseudo-medieval, pseudo-renaissance, pseudo-court tune. Maybe I should have named it 'ersatz.' |
|

|
| Four By Twelve |
|
|
My goal in writing this tune was to come up with something that sounded mechanical. I think i succeeded. |
