This song was written many many years ago using only 2 tape recorders and my ovation electric guitar. (I really miss that guitar!)
It is a song about my Grandmother and how, as she got older, she moved out of our house and went to live across the country with other relatives. She has long since passed away but she will always be my Angel in Disguise.
Angel in Disguise
This is the story of an angel in disguise
A woman living all alone in an apartment in the sky
They called her Mary but a name is just a name
It really doesn't matter as I miss her all the same
It still feels like she’s here
In every shadow
In every sound that I hear
I can remember her rocking me to sleep
Holding me so close that I can feel each heartbeat
She’d sit for hours with a needle and some thread
While crocheted creations would go dancing through her head
She was an angel in disguise
Always being honest and never telling lies
She had lots of company
She had 52 best friends
And if she didn't like one of them she would shuffle them again
While I was always out, painting the town red
Still she kept her light on saying prayers for me in bed
If I could only hold her hand
I’m sure that she would understand
We lived together for 21 years
She heard my laughter and she wiped my tears
As we grew older we began to drift apart
One day she said she’s leaving me
Put a shock right through my heart
She was an angel in disguise
Salt water welled up in my eyes
How could I tell her that I did not want her to go?
When I knew that she’d be happier and she would not be alone
I still remember the day she said goodbye
As they loaded up her life she had tears within her eyes
I didn't want her to see me cry
With one last hug we all watched her wave goodbye

With an itch to write something new, I sat by my keyboard and thought about something that made me smile. The result was Riverside Bike Ride. I hope it makes you smile too. ~TUNER~

Recently a good friend let me borrow his 4 track so I could salvage some tunes I did back in 1991. This is one of them. It's not the best quality but I saved it, and that's good enough for me. :)

So, I finally got around to playing with the new keyboard and wow! it sure is fun! Here's my first song experiment, simply called "MONDAY" since that's the day I wrote it on. I'm still learning the crazy effects I can make with this machine so there will be lots more interesting songs to come. Hope you like it! ~TUNER~

Left alone with no time schedule for an entire weekend, TUNER decides that watching the sunrise after staying up all night recording is quite rewarding. I hope you enjoy Arcane Zips; inspired by arcane things.

Well, its a lazy Sunday and its raining outside. So I thought I'd take a few hours and write something quick, just to accomplish something today. It worked, but it is still raining out and the flood waters are still rising..... FOOKING RAIN!

Hi Everyone!
First off, I'd like to say Hello! and Welcome! to all my new fans! I'd love to greet you all personally, but I just can't keep up with all the new adds. I will do my best to stay on top of all the fan mail and answer each one as best I can!
Now.. for the exciting news! I've posted a new song co-written with my friend Max called SPRING BREAK.
Max's amazing guitar work covers my background melodic concoction like icing on a cake. This tune is much edgier than some of the previous stuff I've released, so give it a listen! It's ear candy you'll want more of!
Thanks for Listening!!!

I heard the trains
in the distance
through my window
and I recorded
the emotions
that I felt
at that time.

I uploaded a video for the song Luma Luna. Its called "A TOES LIFE" and its not your ordinary music video. Long North Dakota winters lead to fits of boredom and creative explosions.. I hope the video makes you smile at least once. :) Smiles are good!
