New Additions The sheet music we have available is in a variety of styles for just about every imaginable combination of instruments. Some were written & used in church; some were written for teaching and educational settings; some are just fun to play and some would make great background music in a video. I’ve added […]

New Sheet-Music I’m trying to compose or arrange more music than I usually do. Since I am a church musician, the obvious music to write is music of a utilitarian nature. That is, write music I can use or that another church musician can use. Click on the link for each title to see sample […]
Goodbye to 2017 To start the blog being moved to this location, I thought I’d start with an article reviewing the past year, 2017, and my musical efforts. Personally, two things impacted me more than anything else. First, Hurricane Irma impacted where I live more than other hurricanes in the past have. (I went through […]
On May 3rd, 2015 I was one of two performers at a 2-organ concert. It is unusual these days to have a single organ concert, let alone one that features 2 organs. The location of the concert was a small church in the small town of Micanopy, FL (population 600). The building can hold a […]
New Distributor for my sheet music If you are a musician I hope you’ve heard of SheetMusicPlus.com. If you want a piece of music, they probably have it. I’m happy to announce that they are now distributing my sheet music via their Digital Music section. As of this date I have over 300 titles available. […]
For those who may not know this, SheetMusicPlus – an online distributor of printed sheet music – is also selling music digitally. As a composer/arranger, they allow me to submit material to be published digitally. I get the impression they prefer original material rather than your new typesetting of a public domain title. From the […]

I’m not sure if anyone actually reads this or not, but I hope someone does. I wanted to let those that are interested know that I’m still around & busy with music projects. That’s one reason I’ve not posted in a while. The main reason I’ve not posted is that I’m not getting any feedback […]
Among my regular activities as a musician, I was hired to work on special MIDI project. I thought you might be interested to hear some of the details. There are a number of churches that have organs but nobody to play them. Many of the organs are midi capable but the midi files they can […]
I’ve put together a video that shows pictures of the final install of the new organ at Church of the Mediator, Micanopy, Florida. The new organ is an Ahlborn-Galanti Chronicler I with an Ahlborn Classic sound module and Korg X5DR sound module. There is a six-speaker system with subwoofer. Two of the speakers are at the opposite […]
Latest happenings I didn’t realize I haven’t posted in a while. The summer is a somewhat slow time of the year for posts. Here’s some of the things I’ve been up to. YouTube Videos I’ve been trying to post a music video of sorts every couple of days. These consist essentially of still images of my […]
