I have two Native American flutes I improvise on for relaxation. Both flutes were made in Alabama. I sometimes compose short pieces using the Native American flute, Baroque recorder, melodica and Apple’s GarageBand software.

The pieces here are voiced in GarageBand using its virtual clarinet.

After Hours

Staying in a condo on the Gulf of Mexico, our room had two decks, one of which faced inland, toward the busy restaurants and shops lining the highway. Sitting out on that deck, way away from people, I began envisioning the mountains in Utah and the descending darkness at dusk, slowly engulfing trees and the cold waters of rivers and lakes.

Liam’s Theme

Liam is a special child whose first two years were filled with hospital visits and a liver transplant. While recovering and developing, he is sweet, serious and playful, serene and happy.
