I don’t always feel like going to church….but, LOVE LIFTED ME…
I posted this on my blog for Mom and felt that it really belonged both places. You can get to her blog by clicking on her blog from this page or you can go directly there by going to http://blog.drmary.net Thank you for reading. With the snow coming down and the brisk air outside, I […]
Dr. Mary’s defense of her illicit affair with Fernando Sor, 19th century classical composer (yes, he is DEAD!!!)
The gossip has begun! The Enquirer is hot on the trail of this saucy news scoop! Dr. Mary got a call from her brother, Bill, who has long been the conscience of their family. **chuckle** “What’s the deal with Stefi’s picture of you and your guitar teacher on the blog!?” The cautious inference was that […]
“Head in the Clouds”-a new instrumental composition
I wrote most of this song after having learned “Un Dia de Noviembre” by Leo Bouwer. Somehow learning his song inspired mine, though everyone says that it sounds nothing like it. I think that his piece gave me a sense of freedom of expression for some odd reason. This song comes from a soft, quiet […]
Where’s Fernando?
Fernando Sor is a pretty big deal at our house. Stephanie knows how much her mother has romanticized Fernando Sor. Here is the picture she drew today.
Dena!
I finished a new song, yesterday. My mother is Dena, same name as the song and she loved it. I hope that you will too! Listen and enjoy…PS-The guitar I’m using is my Martin D35, bought in Kansas City at Quigley Music…I think it was 1974. It’s tuned in a –G tuning– that I’ve never […]
New Song Ideas
I’ve written a great piece in G tuning that has a warm but haunting melody line. I’m looking for a worthy story to add words…So, if you have a historical story, maybe a grandparent or someone that you’ve known through the years, please tell it to me to use for my song! Of course, I’d […]
Candy Cane Lane…Here we GOooo!
I am playing Miss Gingerbread in “Candy Cane Lane” this year with the <Kids with a King> production at the Delta Christian Church. It’s a fun musical filled with about 70 singing and dancing children, ages 4 to 10. I am one of the few adults in the play and it’s going to be a […]
The faith of a child…
What a week, it’s been, already! Craig and Stefi leave for the Iowa farm, tomorrow and will be gone for 3 weeks. I’m trying NOT to think about it. But, I know that I’ll miss them, terribly. Especially Stefi, who has made my life so much more livable this summer. Her faith has impressed me […]
Blessings all around, if only you look for them…
I came home yesterday. I had planned on at least one more night in the condo in Grand Junction…one more night with no one to consider but myself, sleeping when I felt like it, crying where no one would see, having only to focus on the healing of my wounds from the surgery and time […]
Wonderful Peace
I sang one of our family’s favorite hymns at the Eckert Presbyterian Church on Sunday morning. Peace, Peace Wonderful Peace.. Coming down from the father, above. Sweep over my spirit forever I pray In phathomless billows of love This was a very special song that my grandfather—-my mother’s father–sang……..It was part of his SOUL…….He sang […]
