This is a piece I wrote for classmate Tim Smedstad after his passing in 2008; It began with my pondering on how I might, in my own small way, produce something that would honor him. He and I had this in common: a love for nature. He expressed this love of nature thru his passion for hunting/ fishing/golfing. My immersion into the beauty of nature is realized in cross country skiing/ biking and writing music influenced by the whimsy, sorrow, beauty and power found in God's creation. This neo-classical piece is called simply "In Memory of Tim." I am reminded of this quote: "God gave us music so that we might pray without words." I do the guitars and string orchestrations; Bruce does the cello and Heather adds the violin. Feel free to download at no cost. This song will be included on my soon to be released "Symphony of Light" cd
Here are some free downloads from my band New Command's cd titled "Damascus Journey..." - hot off the presses at this time. Two songs and two instrumental pieces for ye. You can support this cd if you wish by going to cd baby/Amazon or itunes, or contacting me directly. Otherwise, download away!
