Here's to Barbara's Good Health

When my good friend Barbara Butler was poorly (and if I recall was unable to come to the Chippenham French folk music session) I felt like I wanted to write her a tune. Her is the result.

That Familiar Ache

This is a Mazurka called "That Familiar Ache". The title came from my nagging suspicion it might be a tune I'd heard before.

Happy New Year (Bourrée)

This is the first dance tune I wrote. It's called "Happy New Year".

This Is My Hypogeum

This is my first entry in my new blog for publishing my tunes, but it isn't my first tune. The tune title comes from something I realised when I visited the Hal Saflieni hypogeum in Malta. I realised that my tunes are the "place" I go when I want to remember people. It seemed like an appropriate tune for my first posting, but there will be more to come.

You can see me playing this at a French music session in San Francisco here.
