Take a moment to say that it has never been of my ambitions to become a popular star; however, many facets of music have been a driving force within me since birth. I must answer to that calling, hence share with the tunes I have been blessed with. I've accomplished sooo many other areas in work and play more deserving than my music that comes so natural. Thank you much! Yes, being #1 in many of my tunes overwhelms me beyond words. Yes, being a star is being #1, that is my goal as the music industry is a vast industry that surpasses all others since the beginnings of human beings and all creatures therein. Birds begin each day with a song too. I hope you enjoy my websites. I have not been to church since I was 16 or so (none of those churches had pianos, organs or a choir (yes, I did get a 1st place medal for singing in a high school quartet during a multi-county contest in Illinois)). Except for special occasions. Yet these public domain tunes like in the Tons CD, are played without a single sheet of sheet music, some played only once. They don't ring thru my life daily like while working. Rather only if I sit at a keyboard, they come through me like a wildfire and play one after the other for 80 minutes continuously. Then they are gone until the next time! While going to CU in Boulder, my landlords were both accomplished musicians in bands. I was hushed. But it was not long until they sensed my love of music and they thot that they'd give this guy a few lessons. While I was stubborn, I knew I knew how to play a keyboard my way. When I would they'd get excited and say oh, so you play that way and I learned The Battle Hymn by my college semesters end on their upright piano. They were so impressed with it that they sent a letter to my parents saying "Larry has lots of music in him." They just really laughed! I forgot that I had 5 songs with melody in my desk drawer back home waiting for me. The point is, they hinted that my major should be Music, not Botany. Nope not me, I knew I was stubborn and couldn't be taught music any other way, no waste of time that is. Both of the would-be majors blossomed anyway!! That was a natural for me! Lol Oh well, we all won! I love all all all all music!
