Summertime
This song is a jazzy trio number called “A Long Summer’s Day.” It is like those days you wish could go on forever.

This video is about the summer holiday trips we have gone on – for real, or in our imaginations. I hope you enjoy it. This one is for the children, (and for the child in each one of us.)
This is the fourth mystery video in my Gumshoe Opera series. The music, basically a rock song with unsettling, chaotic strings at the end, provides the mood for a mystery sub-genre “suspense” or “thriller” picture show. Suspense/thrillers center around epic, psychological or supernatural occurrences, unlike other mysteries such as crime dramas (think film noir,) or […]
As we continue the battle of the pandemic, we must all remember that nobody is immune, yet. Still the best ways to prevent spread are good personal hygiene, social distancing, and masks. Please show your love for your common man and practice the safety guidelines. With those words, here is another video about the times. […]
Happy 4th of July, U.S.A.! I’m bringing the parade, festival, and fireworks to you, instead of you going to them, as it may not be happening in your locale this year. And, I composed a little musical anthem to go with sights. It’s been a full year since I began this blog of new videos […]
Continuing with the “Gumshoe” series, I am setting the mood with today’s video “Falling Sand/Hide ‘N Seek.” It is a two-part instrumental piece that captures the viewer in the crime drama: first, in an extremely suspenseful moment; then, in a light-heated comic chase scene. It is suitable for all ages.
The following video is the second in my “Gumshoe Opera” series. It is the theme song from the science fiction detective novel “The Hydration War.” Although set sometime in the future, I took inspiration from the Ancestral Pueblo (Anasazi) societies, last known to be alive in 1500 Southwest United States. No one knows what became […]
“it was a dark and stormy night…” Fiction, horror, and mystery writers often use the setting of a “dark and stormy night” as a metaphor for troubled, uncertain, and sinister happenings. Today’s video comes complete with lots of rain and an unsettled-sounding Hollywood soundtrack. It is inspired by Edward Hopper’s 1942 painting “The Nighthawks.” A […]
Some things, like Yosemite National Park, never change, and that is good. From what I can see, it still looks the same as when Ansel Adams photographed it in all of its black-and-white glory. However, some other things do change; some even change quite frequently. Take, for example, modern musical styles. In this video, I […]
It’s been raining here a lot recently, and I have been listening to the sounds of rainfall. In this song, I evoke the music of a passing rainstorm. This Memorial Day, it is dedicated to those who stood and sacrificed for this country.
