A short (slightly less than 2 minutes) fun, jazzy piece for flute, clarinet and bassoon. Upbeat and toe-tapping, with a lot of counterpoint. Instrumental, Americana, Americana
This was a favorite standard of jazz musicians in the 30's and 40's-and to this day with groups who still play tunes from that era. It was used for sing-alongs in those days before TV when people would gather around an upright piano in someone's living room and sing for entertainment in the evenings, Instrumental, Americana, Americana
One of the earliest traditional jazz songs to become a standard. The words and music, by Shelton Brooks, were inspired by a ball at the 1915 Pacific-Panama Exposition in San Francisco. This song is lively and a well-known rousing "oldie", recorded by many bands. Played here on piano in stride style. Instrumental, Americana, Americana
Another old sing-along tune very familiar to anyone born before 1940. Those were the days - when people would gather around a piano or a guitar and actually sometimes harmonize along with the melody. Great fun - and much less passive than sitting and watching the tube! Played on solo acoustic piano, Instrumental, Americana, Americana
An old favorite "sing-along" song from the early 1900's. This will take you down memory lane, if you were born before 1935. Sing along with it, or just listen to the energetic "stride" piano version of it here. Instrumental, Americana, Americana
Ragtime music written by the first ragtime music composer, and quite possibly the most well known of them all. Toe-tapping, upbeat, waltz, Instrumental, Americana, Americana, Scott Joplin
An old favorite that has been sung thousands of times around a campfire or in any group setting in America by anyone born before around 1935. Played on acoustic piano in the old stride style, you will hum or sing along with this one, and it will take you back to your childhood with fond memories. Instrumental, Americana, Americana
A simple, very sweet, old fashioned song with words and music by J.L. Molloy. This track is played on acoustic piano alone, however. First published in London by an Irish barrister turned composer. The melody is a familiar one. Instrumental, Americana, Americana
This is an old American song which was commonly sung at sing-alongs - before tv became the evening's entertainment - back when almost every home had at least an old upright piano and people would gather around in the evenings and sing together as the designated piano player accompanied them. Instrumental, Americana, Americana
Descriptive of a bubbling creek played by woodwinds, which then gives way to a catchy syncopated melody played by the glass harp. This is upbeat and cheerful all the way through. Instrumental, Americana, Americana
This starts out with pizzicato strings, as raindrops. They become more intense, and then other instruments join until it develops into a huge storm. It then calms down before the quiet ending. Instrumental, Americana, Americana
In contrast to the first movement of this suite - Spring Creek - this is descriptive of the Colorado river. The Colorado is a big river, and so moves slower than a small creek. It is massive, and I have tried to convey that quiet strength in sound. Instrumental, Americana, Americana
The theme song of the Yale University a cappella singing group by the same name, which still exists today, is played here on acoustic piano without lyrics - you supply those lyrics in your own mind as you listen to this nostalgic bit of early 20th century Americana, played with sensitivity and style, Instrumental, Americana, American Patriotic
This is a World War 1 song - played here on acoustic piano without lyrics. The melody was widely known at the time and for many years later - it has a tenderness and nostalgia which comes through in this performance. Instrumental, Americana, Americana
This is in the old "stride-piano" style, and an old favorite which was often heard in sing-alongs previous to 1950. A period song and period style of playing, which is fun and uplifting. Instrumental, Americana, Americana
