Composing music has always been my most passionate endeavor. Here you’ll find (eventually) hundreds of songs, instrumentals, demos, and riffs that I’ve written and recorded over the decades – many under my performance name of Tarnished Karma

A Short Song of Lament

And actual lyrics this time, though back in the 70s I was not much of a lyricist yet. Got pretty good later, though…

A Good Start

Upbeat music for beginning a journey.

Movie Travel Music

A journey across open country – a desert perhaps?

Old Time Movie Honky Tonk

Background music for mild shenanigans in a silent movie.

Putting the Plan in Motion

Good melody line for a movie soundtrack where they’ve figured out what the need to do, and go about the business of getting this ready.

Didn’t Sound This Way In My Head

When I jot down a song, tune, or melody line, I’m hearing it performed by a good singer backed by solid musicians. But when I hear my scratch-track playback, it sounds like day laborers in a junk yard repeatedly tripping over a squeeze toy.

Wish you could hear it like I do, but this is what you get.
