1. DAYBREAK: 4:57. I woke up one morning, dreaming about playing guitar, and visualized a chord pattern up and down the fret board. Later in the day, I still remembered the pattern and that pattern turned into DAYBREAK. Played on a Taylor 814CE 6 string guitar. Standard tuning. Finger style intro moving into flat-picking. Composition date: June 2003.

2. WETLANDS LULLABY: 5:48. I was sitting on my deck one evening with my guitar, when the early summer frogs began singing to inspire âWetlands Lullabyâ. Played on a Taylor 814CE 6 string guitar. Standard tuning. Finger style. Composition date: 4-16-05.

3. GONE FISHING: 4:27. I combined an intro that I wrote in the 1980âs with a new finger style melody worked out in 2005 to create GONE FISHING. Played on my Taylor 814CE 6 string guitar. Standard tuning. Finger style. Composition date: 2-9-05.

4. RAMBLEWOOD: 7:30. This was the first composition written on my National Steel Radio Tone resophonic guitar. I bought this guitar for slide guitar playing, but the reverberation and tone sound great without the slide as well. Ema6 (EAC#G#BE) tuning. Flat-picking style. Composition date: 6-12-04

5. TRANSITION: 2:19. The second finger style composition that I ever wrote. It started out as a right hand exercise. Played on my Taylor 814CE 6 string guitar. Standard tuning. Finger style. Composition date: 1-30-89.

6. TIMELESS: 5:00. I was looking for new ideas, so I tuned the guitar to an open Dma7 (DAC#F#AE) tuning, which inspired TIMELESS. Played on my Taylor 814CE 6 string guitar. Flat-picking style. Composition date: 2-24-05.

7. WARM BREEZES: 4:51. A simple finger style composition in standard tuning, played on my Taylor 814CE 6 string. Composition date: 6-17-04.

8. REMINISCE: 4:29. A fast paced flat-picking composition in standard tuning. The melodies seemed reminiscent of some songs from childhood. Played on my Taylor 814CE 6 string. Standard tuning. Composition date: 9-26-03.

9. LOVE NOTES: 3:41. A finger style composition using a counterpoint style between the bass and melody lines. Played on my Taylor 814CE 6 string guitar. Standard tuning. Composition date: 1-31-05.

10. MANATEES: 6:39. An unusual flat-picking composition in standard tuning. Images of large, lolling manatees came to mind. Played on the Taylor 814CE 6 string guitar. Composition date: 7-24-04.

11. FAREWELL: 4:57. This melody came to me all at once the evening a friend died (I did not know the friend had died until the following morning). A finger style composition in standard tuning, played on the Taylor 814CE 6 string guitar.
Composition date: 1-14-04.

12. TWILIGHT: 4:52. A bluesy/rock slide guitar composition, recorded with slide guitar style on the National Steel Resophonic 6 string, overdubbed with slide guitar on the Taylor 814CE 6 string. A third electric slide guitar solo on the Taylor 814CE was overdubbed for a few bars. Open D tuning (DADF#AD). Flat-picking style. Composition date 4-28-04.
