This is a collection of tunes that I have written at different points since I began playing Irish music over 3 decades ago. The collection includes typical types of tunes, including reels, jigs, hornpipes, waltzes. There are a few tunes that don't fall exactly into those categories, including an old time tune, a "quasi" cajun tune, a slow tune that is "quasi" Scottish, and one air that was originally written for solo cello, and is more of a concert piece for cello and fiddle, in a folk style.
There are short descriptions of the tunes that tell a bit about my life, where I lived and traveled, and what I was doing. Most of the tunes were written at a specific place, some on trips, and some at home. Memories of the places and the people there are woven into the sound. I sincerely hope you enjoy this music!
