🎶Lonely rivers flow
To the sea, to the sea...
My instrumental of a 1955 tune composed by Alex North with lyrics by Hy Zaret. It has since become a standard and was one of the most recorded songs of the 20th century, most notably by the Righteous Brothers in 1965.

🎶 At Last
My instrumental of a song written by Mack Gordon and Harry Warren for the musical film "Sun Valley Serenade" (1941).
Etta James's iconic 1960 version made it a timeless standard.

🎶The Living Stream
My one verse cover of an American folk melody known as "Resignation". The tune became the basis of a hymn written by Isaac Watts in the 18th century. The verses are a paraphrase of the 23rd Psalm, and Watts’s interpretation stands among the most lovely and most tender.

🎶I’ll be homeward bound in time...
My one verse, solo instrumental of a song composed by Marta Keen Thompson in 1991. With its silent allusion to the 'prodigal son' parable in the Gospel of Luke, many church choral ensembles have presented this song. Words to the 2nd verse in reply.
