Had a chance to perform after 7 weeks on the bench... here's some video from the afternoon - with a special guest.
My music partner and dear friend, Steve Lawless.
We have made music together for 30 years...

OK Folks! Here it is... the World Premiere of
FOREVER IN AUTUMN
I wrote this song several years ago. This is the first time it's been recorded. Sang it better in my 40s. Still... it's not terrible. The song now exists in the world. I hope enjoy it. ~ Dell

Funny, "several" years is actually 20 years ago. Hmm. Twenty is probably more than several. But I digress...
It's from a musical I have been writing in my head, based on Ray Bradbury's Something Wicked This Way Comes. It's all in there. I just need move it from my mind onto the page. No copyright - but i guess maybe i oughta - I hereby claim all rights by this post.

"curiouser and curiouser."
So, last year because of covid-19... this was the best i could do. Last night I had dinner at a restaurant with my daughter, son-in-law, and Cyrus & Mikey. A proper birthday celebration. Sunday, they're having their first experience at the race track. My family will be joining Grandpa Dell @ Del Mar... still hoping she will Sing with Me & Bing.
Oh, i forgot the part at dinner when Stephanie told me - and this is one of the curiouser parts, she told me she got a call that morning (yesterday, her birthday) that she had received word...
that she was offered a position at an Arts Academy K-9 as Music and Choir Director teaching in Boise. -- back to Boise to teach and work on a masters degree at her undergraduate university.
I can't tell what I'm feeling. I used to know everything.
Now... not so much. Only good things. That is what i want. That's all... just good things. OK. dry the tears and prepare the greatest day at Del Mar I'll ever have... me & my daughter.

Have a great day Dell. I know Boise is a fair distance away but you can make it work with quality time over maybe some less quantity if it is her decision to take it. I don't know what it costs to copyright a piece of music or how it's done- but Forever in Autumn, in my admittedly less than expert opinion merits it. edit- here is something I found: www.copyright.gov/circs/circ50.pdf |
