My German Journey

Well, today, I finished that old book of thirty-eight German lessons. That book was written before the ß came into use, so all words that have that are misspelled today, such as Strasse. Note, that’s the way they spell it. I think this is still acceptable, but it is old-fashioned, like some of their other… Continue reading My German Journey

a Wandring Mind

This will most likely be a rambling post, and a reason why I don’t categorize anything. My first thought is that I wish I understood more about making music using MIDI.

Though I can still sing, I don’t have the endurance or the range, or the power I… Continue reading The Third Song

This one is me singing my version of a Jack Green song called There Goes My Everything. This song probably put the green in Jack’s name, grins. Folks might notice the steel guitar playing with only one note bending. This is definitely possible on the PSR-3000.

The First Song

This one is an instrumental, my arrangement of the theme song of a TV show called Simon & Simon. I believe they were brothers. Anyway, it’s a detective show. My dad would have love to hear this arrangement! He absolutely loved this theme. He died before I got this keyboard, the Yamaha PSR-3000. This is… Continue reading The First Song
