“My Father Was a Werewolf” MP3

Not too long ago a band called Redhill Rats submitted music to my Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. I loved their style so I played “My Father Was a Werewolf” in the show. A listener, authoress and fan of Harry Potter, named Peg Kerr, loved the song too. So much so that she filked it. […]

New MP3 – Auld Lang Syne

It’s New Years Eve. I’ve wanted to record “Auld Lang Syne” for years now. It’s just a beautiful song.

“Of Twilight Shores and Heroes’ Death” MP3s

I’ve been on a writing binge this Fall, especially of instrumental autoharp music. I love the sound the autoharp creates. It’s very unique and I’ve heard no one experiment with effects.

The Hobbit Journey Home MP3

I recorded this instrumental tune in the winter of 2006 at my mom’s. I was practicing on my autoharp when this melody came to me. It had a fairly sad, yet uplifting feeling that reminded me of Frodo and company returning home after their semi-triumphant return from Mordor. Their lives had changed. The Ring had […]
