Reluctant Farewell to James Smith, classical guitar professor
Well, I’ve procrastinated writing this blog. I guess that writing a blog for this particular song may force me to say “Good-bye” and I’m really not ready to do that. But, I recorded the song, “Reluctant Farewell”, a song I composed recently in James’ memory and I want to share it with you. The process […]
So little time, so much inspiration…James Smith is still inspiring me to write
Well, I haven’t kept you very well informed. Forgive me please. Here’s a bit of my most recent life and a clip of one of the new songs that I’ve written. We left Colorado on January 14th, headed for Southern Baja, by way of LA, so I could attend the memorial concert for James Smith, […]
The New Year’s song and our 2010 review in less than 3 minutes!
When we wanted to put together some of our family memories to share with you, I thought about the music to add to the show. I honestly haven’t found ANYONE who knows what Auld Lang Syne means. I know I can google it and find about a million answers. But I decided that I needed […]
Under the Bridge…I got it finished!!
In early May I was traveling over to Denver for a Chiropractic seminar. I had put the finishing touches on Lazy Waters and had been fighting back the rushing notes that had been haunting me for the second movement of The River, Under the Bridge. I still couldn’t play Lazy Waters as well as I […]

Endre Balogh and James Smith critique Lazy River
Well, it’s been that time of year, again…a time of playing hours every day, scrambling to please the professors at the masters classes at Mesa State University. James and Endre come once a year. It’s always nerve racking because I feel like a child hoping for approval, but yearning to do better so needing the […]
“What a Wonderful World”
There are few songs in my performances that I didn’t write. “What a Wonderful World”, written by Bob Thiele and George David Weiss is one that I could have easily written from the expression of my own grateful heart. The only difference would be that this song repeats several times that “I think to myself, […]
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 […]
