Merriam-Webster defines a song as a short musical composition of words and music, a collection of such compositions, a distinctive or characteristic sound or series of sounds (as of a bird, insect, or whale). After reading that, I am not sure what these are. And who is this Merriam anyway?
And here are some remakes of songs written by the ATGC (All-Time Greatest Composer.) Also used in DNA sequencing.
Here is a classic that just seems to fit today. Jeff Beck was the master.
Here is Beethoven’s Minuet in G Major. It is perfect holiday background music.
This is an original song. It is titled “Friday Nocturne.” Like most things, it is a work in progress.
And the rest is history..
Thursday’s Song without piano:

A new version of “On Green Dolphin Street”:
And here is Miles Davis playing the same song:
Everyone sing along:
Here is something nobody knows: I have a photogenic memory, which means I always look good in my own mind. And here are some new songs you might remember, with a new twist:

It used to sound like this:
Here is the bass line from chorale number 92, in .wav format.
This song is a bit wilder than most.
And here are a couple of songs from this week that needed new instruments.
Another batch of songs is ready to go out into the world (if you can call two songs “a batch.”) The first song was written by Peter Frampton. It is called “Penny for Your Thoughts.”
