In the Backyard
– When I was growing up, the backyard was my favorite place to be. My brother and I would play all kinds of games, throw the baseball, build castles with toy trucks and tractors. As I grow older, I still love to peacefully sit and enjoy nature in the backyard. Springtime smells so fresh and […]

Walt’s Waltz
– I have lots and lots of these little instrumental ditties. There was another one on my first CD (“Dancearound”). I could record a whole CD of them, if I had to. They sure are fun to play.
Win – Win
