Welcome to Unsung Songs

This is a collection written during the past few years, assembled for the enjoyment of a few friends and relatives. There is no real organizational structure; it’s just a jumble of thoughts tenuously held together by the fact that the contents were written by one person. Several others have, however, been involved, most notably two gifted composers: Ukie Hart and Irwin Webb, who have written music to many of these songs (or to whose music they have been written), Bill Caswell, another gifted composer and performer, and Todd Van Every, who was the originating and driving force behind Johnny Appleseed.

However it might seem, everything I’ve ever done has not been included. The site contains only those items that lay within relatively easy reach. Neither have I attempted to be very critical, because my taste is my own.

If nothing else, the collection is at least eclectic, so don’t give up after a few pages. Skip around and look for a grain of humor, truth, or beauty that strikes a responsive chord. If you find nothing that pleases you, or sends you into a state of temporary profundity, one of us is seriously at fault. I prefer to believe it’s you.

NOTE: I’ve added the music to some of the Unsung Songs. You’ll find them in the “What’s New” page.
