Songs

Why lead sheets?

You could chalk this up to my imagination. While in Texas rehearsing for a taping of Austin City Limits, I heard someone playing the very intricate piano accompaniment for a song of mine that was on my first album (“Rain Song”). And it was being played — on a guitar! I was thrilled. Someone was interested enough in a song of mine to actually learn to play it himself (It was Champ Hood from “Uncle Walt’s Band”).

So, since I do think some of my songs are pretty good, I can easily slip into visualizing anyone else out there in cyberspace trying to learn one of them. And that possibility thrills me too. And, to make it easier for you, I’m supplying written music. Some of it is pretty complete and professional looking. Some of it is just me having scratched out some chord names. But here they are.

Let me know if you try some of these out. Thanks!
