Drifting sands are rhythm in my hands This morning, like too many mornings this year, I woke up before getting enough sleep. And I’m dealing with some issues that restful, recuperative sleep would help. So, of course, I decided to wallow in my misery and make a list of all the things people better watch out for around me today. Not! No, I started … The rest of the story…

Since blue is my favorite color, it comes as no surprise that I’d choose it to paint the celtic clouds in a lullaby. Oops…I just gave away part of the secret of what makes these clouds so special. One day, in the month of May, I was sitting at my keyboard…daydreaming. I had made it my mission to write 10 lullaby songs for kids … The rest of the story…
Do you remember that old rhyming prayer that starts out “now I lay me down to sleep…I pray the Lord my soul to keep”? It’s part of what inspired one of my lullaby songs.

Don’t confuse this silver horse with “Silver”, Roy Rogers’ famous horse… In the last few months of 2012 I wrote a collection of western themed lullaby songs. I called this collection “Bedtime Buckaroos”. There are 9 songs on the CD, and “The Silver Horse” was the 8th one I wrote and recorded.

In Your Dreams
You’ve probably heard someone say “in your dreams” when they think someone else has exaggerated something. Well, when I started writing the first song in my jazzy collection of lullaby songs “Lullabye Bye”, I wasn’t thinking of that expression at all…at least not for that reason.

They have some signs up for story time for little kids…which they call buckaroos. Now, this caught my attention because recently I started a project of Western themed lullabies. And I call the project “Bedtime Buckaroos“. Do … The rest of the story…

Sleep well. Don’t let the bedbugs bite. They won’t, if you’ll just slip into this tune. And wear your music pajamas. And sing the songs of your mamas Because they gave … The rest of the story…
Lullaby Songs And My First “1”
Lullaby Songs Hold A Special Place In My Heart Through a reasonably random set of circumstances, this evening, I stumbled upon the lyrics to an old Welsh lullaby… “All Through The Night”.
