Under the Snow (mp3) (pdf)
There's a lot of action under the snow from a canine perspective.
This photo is actually from last winter but our yard looks much the same right now. (Only this year's snow is a little deeper.)
The tune, however, is very fresh. Hope you enjoy it.

Bagatelle for Solo Mandolin, no. 3
Bagatelle for Solo Mandolin, no. 3 (mp3) (pdf)
I started this one a couple of weeks ago and I think it has settled into its final form. I suppose time will tell.
It's worth noting that last Sunday, February 9th, marked the 50th anniversary of the single most important event in my musical life; the first appearance of the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. I can't imagine what my life would have been like if I hadn't watched that show, it's best not to try.
The music that I present here, for better or worse, is all the result of a process that was put into motion that night. One bit of music leading to another, backwards and forward in time, "Ancient to the Future" (to borrow the motto of the Art Ensemble of Chicago).
Thanks for listening.

Family Valentine
Family Valentine (mp3) (pdf)
This tune comes from back in 2003 but the recording is from tonight. A simple waltz probably played at a family Valentine's Day event that year and rarely played since. The pdf is the version that appears in my 31 Waltzes tunebook. More info on the book is here: http://www.mandotopia.com/31waltzes.htm
