Back in 2006 I spend a couple of months in the French Quarter of New Orleans. While I was there I involved myself with a locals bar called Evelyn's Place.
Let's Try a Little Winter
Apr 18, 2021
Now that April is here, I guess it is safe to talk about Winter. it was a mild winter up here in the hills & I have discovered the joys of getting lost in the woods on snowshoes.
Prickly Pear
Jan 28, 2021
This is the perfect tune for snapping your fingers to as you step down the street. Yes, you too can be as wild as one of the mid-century hipsters... Bobbing your head, yeah, man, it's like sputnik all over again.

Volcanic Sounds of the Yellowstone Caldera
Jan 14, 2021
On one of my drive-abouts I found myself in Yellowstone National Park. it's a jolly fun place if you like that sort of thing... You know... Buffalo, trees, geysers & such. It pushes a couple of my buttons for sure. Yellowtone has wo many cool sounds that I simply had to record some of them.
Porphero's Watch Chain
Jan 07, 2021
Porphero's watch Chain is a straight-forward, two-voice investigation into the unrequited feelings a pocket watch might have for it's companion watch chain.
The Ice Follies
Jan 02, 2021
There is an old proverb: "A fooish person and their camera soon becomes tedious." This is a risk faced by everyone who walks about with a camera hanging around their necks like an albatross.
Les Langueurs Tendres
Dec 24, 2020
This is the final of a series of François Couperin pieces. "The Slow Tenderness" is a lovely little tune.
Solar Wind
Dec 17, 2020
In the guise of Gort Braggern I mashed together this cluster of melodies. Mosltly in 5/4 time, it closes out in 9/4...I tried to make it danceable, or at least head-bobbable.
Le Moucheron
Dec 17, 2020
I wonder why François Couperin would name this tune "The Gnat?" (or "The Midge" if you prefer) Could it me that gnats had a significance in 1717 that I am as yet unaware?
La Bersan by Françouis Couperin
Dec 10, 2020
Here we go again... another of Couperin's harpsichord pieces
Yes, Summer is Over
Nov 29, 2020
Well Golly, if one thing is for certain up in these hills it is that , at some point, the weather is going to turn chilly. At least the snow doesn't burn. And every thing looks different with snow around... It gives one the opportunity to take pictures of all of the same things and have them look fresh.
Les Barricades Mystérieuses
Nov 19, 2020
The Mysterious Barricades... What might François Couperin have been referring to when he titled this one?
Les Bergeries
Nov 12, 2020
A piece written by written by François Couperin for the Harpsichord & published in 1717.
Chiltepin
Nov 06, 2020
A cute little tine in 12/8... except for the bridge... it jumps around a bit there... almost latin sounding. I named it after a favorite chili pepper. the Chiltepin, also known as a bird's eye pepper.
Low Tide at Soberanes Point, CA
Oct 20, 2020
Once again I found myself at the ocean with nothing better to do than subject my microphones to hostile conditions. I had been driving up and down along the coast south of Monterey looking for the right spot. I was looking for a protected cove-type location. One without a mile-long expanse of sand and giant waves from the deep ocean to come crashing in.
Wandering Around the Hills Nearby
Oct 11, 2020
Been spending a little time wandering about the local hills seeing what they have to offer... on days when the air is clear enough... Which lately has been more often than not, couldn't say that a few weeks ago, and really, there isn't much I can say about the wildfires that hasn't been said better already. I've only been inconvenienced by the smoke & fires... others have had it infinitely worse.
Nightbirds on the Noyo River
Oct 02, 2020
Way in the background, you can hear the distant roar of the surf. This location was about a mile and a half from the open sea and high tide was about an hour earlier.
