On Hallowed Ground I wrote this song while thinking about the perseverance of a sports team against all odds. Which is essentially the personal story line of every team and athlete. More specifically, a team with a legacy and expectation of winning. Maybe things are […]

Steady Hands I wish I had more to say about this piece. I wrote it for a film that I was briefly associated with. As it turned out my music wasn’t right for the project — but I’m sure it will get used elsewhere at […]
