Welcome to the songs that live in my head. I've been playing the piano all my life and I get a great sense of peace and satisfaction from the songs I create.
These songs are generally music that is in between other songs. I constantly make up little jazzy background music for the times in church when people are greeting each other. I created all of the songs below, except for those classics that are clearly marked. I have the words for those wonderful favorites, so you can sing along.
I have found a refuge in playing my piano late at night, when the world is asleep and all the busyness of life is slowed down. I just want to share some of that peace and tranquility with you.
Let me know what you think - all good feedback and loose change can be directed to scott@mydadsbedtimestories.com - that's the best site on the planet for original, bedtime stories. Listen in at MyDadsBedtimestories.com, or just click here!
