Cabin10 is gorgeous! I can totally hear a viola or something playing along with you.

thanks! hmm, that's a good idea. on my ever-growing list is to take some of these "Simple Songs" and arrange them for more instruments. some day...

Bob,

I really liked everything you did. I really liked the Portland Waltz. Have you written these down in sheet music? Are they available?

thanks. no sheet music (or tab). I do everything by ear/memory thus far. I've been wanting to learn however, and I imagine taking on such a project would be a great way to start learning. add that to the ever-growing list of musical adventures. and by the way, on the front burner right now is writing old-timey kinda songs, and I'm using the tune of Portland Waltz for a mining disaster song I'm working on, which you can check out here: http://bobsmusicjournal.wordpress.com/2008/03/24/one-more-breath/
