Everything Else

This page is for music that is not a fiddle tune, a ballad, or a typical original song. I also plan to include some short essays or editorials and other non-MP3 content.

Here is a song that I wrote in June 2008 for the denizens of the campsite where I hung out at Mt. Airy. It will make little or no sense to anyone who wasn't there: "The Good Book" (lyrics and chords).

For something exotic, how about a song in Japanese played on American folk instruments? "Miya-san, Miya-san" is a folk song from the era of the Meiji Restoration (1867-8). Clicking on the link here will open a page containing the lyrics, an English translation, and a choice of two Mp3 files.
