Song List

A note about word choices and edits over time

I have written dozens of songs as of this writing, and am given to second-guessing myself. I frequently make small modifications to the words I have chosen for my songs either deliberately or organically over many iterations of playing them. I do this MUCH more often than I am likely to come in and edit my webpage, so what you are looking at here may be somewhat out of sync with how I play the songs now. Canon is a weak suit for me.

I am almost always at least a little bit dissatisfied with my songs, and whenever I think of a way to tighten them up, or make them more singable, I do it.

I have also put songs up here that I've grown to dislike over time, either because they were written for a specific occasion, quickly and without much consideration, or because they no longer reflect the person into whom I've mutated over the last couple of decades since I started keeping them. I also have sheets up here for songs that I have forgotten how to play. I tend to be a creature of the new.
