Repertoire - Songwriter - Ownself
Here is the part where we bring in blatant self-promotion. Yeah, he wrote these; in most cases, both the words and the tune. You will find humorous songs, some tongue-in-cheek ones, some “gospel lite”, some serious. Here’s where the layers of the onion called The Bard Rocks get peeled. He noodles around on the guitar, and has worked up hundreds of tunelets over the years. Some have stuck around, but more are forgotten, including some he regrets losing. So some years back, he decided to get them down on paper from now on. There are a few others written by others, so not listed here, which were too good not to have another verse or two. So, he doctored them.
BE SURE to check out "That Old Guitar" (see: "Media"), The Bard's newest CD, which features all originals, in a variety of genres. He is joined by several stellar musicians, making this a great CD - 80 minutes long, too. You can't go wrong. A bargain at any price.
