My Latin Bouquet

MyLatinBouquet_Cover

The original title of this song was "in the Shade of the Ombu". ... the Ombu being a tree that grows in thepampa of Argentina & Uruguay. I was imagining a restful siesta under a tree, maybe a couple of Gauchos strumming their guitarras. But then I had another thought.

You see, it's like this. My song "Teddy's Tango" seems to get a lot of traffic. I was wondering if it was because I have the word "tango" in the title.people probably use the word "tango" when searching for music. Maybe... maybe not...

How many people are going to plug the word "ombu" into the search box of their favorite music app? What, you haven't done that? Don't feel left out neither have I.. until a few seconds ago... So I changed the title to something that was more "searchable." I really don't know why, it's still the same song.

Coffee Time Rag

It's time for a ragtime song! This song was scheduled to be released in the middle of May but my "Streaming Distributor" is a tad backed up. Oh well. Sorry to keep you-all waiting. There are still twomore finished peiced in their queue & I have a few other songs on the boiler.

My Latin Bouquet

It's a lazy waltz from a lazy day. I was intending it to form a different piece but one melody flowed to the next and, before I knew it, what I had intended to be a dance piece became this melodically progressive waltz. I had fun with it, I hope you do too.

Skipping Over the Lily Pads

Ah geepers, I've done it again... Calling this one "Skipping Over the Lily Pads".... The wizardry of Gerluz on the piano. Go ahead and add it to your playlists.

San Francisco is a great walking town. I took a lot of long walks at pretty much any time of day or night, this piece came about through these walks.

This one is actually part of a larger suite that I call Parlor Passages. It is intended to recall the frenetic energy energy of a children's playground. It is quite short, just over a minute a bit of brightness to be inserted in a longer ensemble.

The Optimistic Nihilist

You know how it is.... you have one of those weeks. You slog to work on a cold and dismal Monday; The office bully pins you down and steals your lunch money...

The gentle tones of an evening breeze leads into a lively 6/4 waltz.

Though I thought of this originally as a piano piece, The Nouveau Guinea Wind Ensemble kinda takes over and turns this into a lively piano-ensemble piece... Just can't keep those birds out of anything...

Plays Antonin Dvorak

I like Antonin Dvorak, he's OK in my book. His Serenade for Strings OP 22. is one of my faves.

Plays Scott Joplin

I guess I was a weird kid. While other adolescents were listening to Pop music of the late-60s and early-70s, I was captivated by Scott Joplin, George Gershwin, Spike Jones, the Korn Kobblers and anything on a 78 that I could scrabble from the neighbors.

It was late September 2005. I was walking through Monticello, Idaho. Small town, warm evening. Almost no traffic sound. I could hear kids playing a few blocks away... dogs barking on the other side of town.It really sounded great, so I recorded it. A number of years later....
