The Nature of Love

I have written and co-written fourteen songs inspired by the 1970 children’s novel, The Trumpet of the Swan, by E.B. White.

Here is a video from a concert that was performed in Vandel, Denmark, in October, 2024.

Jr. Explorers Club Theme Songs

For ten years, I ran a summer adventure program in New York City. I made hundreds of Mission Memo videos, and wrote a theme song for each week.

Here is a playlist featuring some of theme songs.

Just Write (NPR Tiny Desk version)

This is a song wrote for children, when I was an elementary school teacher. The intention of this song is to inspire young writers to be open to any idea.
