A Few Tunes

This is a tune I wrote about being in love. Mostly it’s piano; no lyrics for now, for which you should all be grateful. Still, this one has a joyful spirit. On a good day, I do too.

What is this Thing Called Love?

Mice Like Cheese

This is a song about how we most desire the things that get us struck in traps. No lyrics for now, just piano.

The Walking Dead

I wrote this one a long time ago. I think in my heart it was about being stuck, about how I thought I’d have to live my life without ever quite being myself. The chorus is, “We are the walking dead, daddio; didn’t you hear what that big man said?” As a public service I have spared us all from the spectacle of my singing voice.

On this page please find a few tunes I’ve cobbled together using my piano and a home studio. You can hear the songs by clicking the play button beneath these lovely photographs. I have always felt that music was not far from whatever I was doing as a writer, although these tunes may make the casual listener grateful that I kept my day job. In any case, these are offered for your pleasure, and with my best wishes. All these songs are copyright © Mean Streak Music, and shouldn’t be broadcast without my permission. But you can do what you want with them; it’s nice for me to know these songs are out there. As if the world could go on without me, and it would be just fine.
