Here are some common themes that you can explore:
North Central Texas Winds
On and off since moving back to Dallas, I've been playing with the North Central Texas Winds. Dallas is a wild place for concert bands: there are twenty-two listed community groups in the DFW area! A wild number, even for a large metroplex!
The group is pretty unique. Hosted by a community college, there are a handful of students. But the band is largely area music teachers, making for a very high level of musicianship for a community ensemble.
It's been a wonderful experience making music with these fine folks! I'll miss these fun Monday night rehearsals.
I'll share below a highlight from our last concert for the season: Alfred Reed's El Camino Real
Many thanks to our conductor, Thomas Singletary. A sincere artist, sensitive musician, and passionate bandleader!

But Beautiful
Roger Miller — Whistle Stop
Watched Disney's Robin Hood the other day. I was sold on revisiting it after Breadsword's fascinating analysis of the movie. So much charm oozing from the film!

I'm Old Fashioned
This years fancies are passing fancies
But sighing sighs, holding hands
These my heart understands

Gone With the Wind
Just like a leaf that has flown away~
All By Myself
All by myself in the morning~
All by myself in the night...
Arranged by Frank Vignola.
I Cover the Waterfront Chord Melody
I cover the waterfront,
I'm watching the sea~
Will the one I love be coming back to me?

All of Me
Why not take all of me?
Like Someone In Love
Lately, I find myself out gazing at stars,
Hearing guitars... Like someone in love~
Yesterdays
Days I knew as happy, sweet, sequestered days~
Star Eyes Chord Melody
Star eyes, flashing eyes in which my hopes rise
Let me show you where my heart lies
Let me prove that it adores
That lovingness of yours
🤩
