SAMW 2009 - I'm including links to a couple of music files from the student concert: first is my performance of Father's Song: Father's Song; and The Kennedys' vocal harmony class performance of "Help": Vocal Harmony performance.

A song for my sons: This is a song I wrote for my three boys: Jeff, Bryan and Jonny. This link is for a low fidelity version for faster playing online:Father's Song, and this one is a higher fidelity version if you want to right click and save it to your computer for use in an iPod or other MP3 player: Father's Song (this may take a few minutes).

SAMW '07! Here's a recording from the shores of Lake Winnipesauki at week 2 of the 2007 Summer Acoustic Music Week sponsored by WUMB, Folk Radio in Boston, 91.9 FM. It was an amazing week, thanks to the faculty and students. Here is an MP3 of She Loves the Thunder as it was performed at the Student Concert. Thanks to John Kirk for the wonderful fiddle accompaniment!!

Myth'ed this!!A recording that didn't make the first CD. Valerie Thompson played cello on this recording: The White Thread, a song based based on the myth of Theseus, Ariadne and the Minotaur.

Unplugged! A number of folks have asked for unproduced versions of some of my songs. I recorded these using a BOSS Micro BR for the Boston Folk Festival Songwriting Contest: Hole in the Susquehanna & She Loves the Thunder

It's time to stop being afraid. And it's way past time to let love in and take a stand for peace. Listen to The Balance. Follow this link to read the lyrics.
You can also listen and vote for this song on the Neil Young Living With War Today list.

SAMW '98! Take a listen to a recording of an a'cappella performance at the 1998 Summer Acoustic Music Week (SAMW) student concert:  Rolling Home (mp3) - Traditional. I learned this song from Mark Ryer, when he led the Ceilidhs in Duxbury. The audience singing harmony made this a peak moment for me!! Thanks to the other students, faculty and friends from SAMW!
