More about Bay Window:
The tune for Bay Window has been playing in my head since I was around 8 years old. The new house our family moved into had a very large bay window in the living room. It was big enough for kids to stand in, play around, and dance. The original tune I heard in my childhood evolved into Bay Window.
Instrumentation: Drums, Bass, Organ, Guitar, Synthesizer, Xylophone

More about Purple Pajamas
I started singing “we’ve got the purple pajamas” in my head since I was around 6 years old. I had a Rat Patrol coloring book. When my Uncle Ken saw me coloring in it, he jokingly told me that the Afrika Korps soldiers wore purple pajamas. Well, I colored all of their uniforms purple and sang this to myself.
Instrumentation: Drums, Bass, Guitars, Organ, Pianos, Vocals

More about Keep Your Room Clean
I heard the tune for this in my head back in the 1980s. I finally came up with suitable lyrics recently. Children and parents should be able to relate to this song very well.
Instrumentation: Drums, Bass, Guitar, Synthesizers, Piano, Vocals

More about Great Nation
I originally composed and recorded Great Nation in the mid 1980s. (I’ll put a link to a video of the original below the other links.)
I think that I improved the sound on the new version. I even added a bassoon solo.
Which version do you prefer?

More about Falling for You
I heard the lyrics for this in my head while driving home one day. It was sort of like they were hovering over the road and I wound up taking them home and then lots of music was just there to go along with them too. One of my musical goals is to have at least one of my songs covered by another artist or artists. It would be great if a powerful woman with a beautiful voice covered this song.
Instrumentation: Drums, Bass, Pianos, Guitars, Vibes, Synthesizer, Vocals
