Need a chuckle?
My Jeff asked me this question last week--and answered it!
Need a Break?
Here are 2 views of the same "Twiglees." A ballet dancer--& the first I made. I shaped it from a failed Carissa Holly shrub that was badly root-bound before I had planted it in our yard. I'm fairly sure I over-fertilized it, too.
(The blue box is attached to the wall with thumbtacks!)
If you only ever listen to one song of mine, please choose this one. I wish I could say that it captures who I am, but I'd better just say that THIS is whom I aspire to be.

The perfect lyrics would express yearning, patience, hope, and...joy!
Here's a ZESTY freebie to help celebrate Saturday: a short & snappy piano solo.
It pairs well with, "Just Like Clockwork."
aritimbs.bandcamp.com/track/it-tak...
My music is free to listen to & free to download at my Bandcamp site.
If you'd like to have the sheet music, I'll email it to you for free.
This fast-paced piano piece--with its angular tune & dissonance--is another of my more modern works.
Listen & Download for FREE at aritimbs.bandcamp.com/track/a-rogu...
Why this name? Because the whole piece started with four random notes which did not seem to go together. They were..."Rogue Notes!"
Here's my favorite Twiglys (pronounced Twig-lees) & its shadow.
The end with leaves comes from the trunk & branches of a small, dead shrub. The left half came from the roots.
I shaped the head by soaking a root, bending it, and then holding it in that shape with a strong rubber band until it dried.
Need a break?
More FREE music!
