Here’s a sample from a tune I wrote on a PVC pipe, Native American courting flute I made the other day.

Hello Again.
Here’s another little ditty cobbled together by Yours Truly. Fanny Powers was written by Turlough O’Carolan , the Blind Bard of Ireland. A nice little tune, usually played slower, but ol’ Turlough didn’t have to worry about bandwidth. I also stuck Acres of Clams to the end of it for fun as it goes so well; like ham n’ cheese or corned beef and cabbage.
Hope you like it, and please leave a little comment so I know you were here.
Cheers!

Ok… Well… Hello there. Welcome to my most adventurous foray on the Intertubes. I was googling for a website I could post blog-like stuff to; music, photos, stress induced rantings… And I ended up here.
Join me won’t you as I stumble along figuring this thing out, cussing and swearing and well, you know…
Anyhoo… Here is a little tune I banged together yesterday while I should have been doing my taxes… It’s called Acres of Clams but it’s really Rosin the Bow, A Celtic standard if there ever was one. But in grade school, we sang this song with the lyrics describing a man who finds disapointment digging for gold in the Yukon but finds redemption as a clam farmer.
“…No longer a slave to ambition….. I’m contented with just who I am… I think of my happy condition, surrounded by acres of clams.”
A lesson for us all I think.
Keep in mind, this is my first attempt ever at home recording so be nice and dont fret about the missed notes… Apparently I didn’t.
P.S. I play all 3 instruments… I could have added a ukulele but I thought that was pushing it.
Cheers!!
