This manuscript is the origin of the flute and guitar piece To Marie ( https://www.sheetmusicplus.com/title/19984390?aff_id=175705 ). It has not been notated on computer, and not yet recorded, but I present it here just for interest. As you can see, it takes advantage of the many puns available on the French phrase for weeping willow. It is addressed to the poet Marie Keyser. The references to Chatterton, Enderby and Buddenbrooks relate to Marie's studies in German literature, in particular Chatterton's suicide. To Marie Sad soul, why don't you weep in company? Saule pleureur, seule pleureuse Why luxuriate in your nomadic liturgy? Saoule pluvieuse, seule pleureuse. The others do not seek to understand The power that holds you ever banned Sales pleurs de sel pluvieux A unicorn has carried off your innocence Saule pleureur, seule pleureuse But no ambition comes to conquer indigence Saoule pluvieuse, seule pleureuse. So on you wander, homeless poetess, Begging shelter for your misconstrued distress Sales pleurs de sel pluvieux. Hold down a job, my girl, hold down a job from nine to five. Souple leurre s'il le peut To keep you happy, settled and alive Saule pleureur For this short time - day in day out Forget you do not know what life's about Sales pleurs de ciel plus vieux. And then, when evening comes, too tired Saule pleureur, seule pleureuse. Your sad old inspiration all expired Saoule pluvieuse, seule pleureuse. You will cease to understand the power that held you forever banned. Souple leurre s'il le peut. No, in the name of Chatterton and Enderby! For who could wilful poetry's defender be? Long live poor Buddenbrooks and poor Marie With mind or body hopelessly at sea. Saules pleureurs, seuls plus vieux.

Nature’s Dream (©2012) – Piano, Vocal, Flute, Soprano Sax, Upright Bass. The first several bars came to me in a 2011 vivid dream in which Paul McCandless was playing soaring soprano sax melodies and Jaye Alison Moscariello was singing lyrics I did not remember from the dream.  It was originally in D with some Dad-related chord progressions.  This version is in A to better fit the alto voice.  After writing 3 verses of rather convoluted lyrics about healing the planet, Jaye helped pare it down to one powerful verse that could be a world anthem.  George and Paul play solos during the instrumental break. We think this would make a great national, or international, anthem.

This is our planet, the one that we all share

Let us remember that all life breathes the air

Our world is sacred, its future in our trust

And it continues after bodies turn to dust

Shall we continue to think we own the beasts?

Or know the truth that all of us share the feast?

Grow for each other and for the creatures too

Plant life and fungi nourish the whole zoo

Lessons we’ve learned from species that have passed

Transform our ways or we may not last

Take time to learn what ancestors teach us

Honor the spirit residing in that which feeds us

Act for the future of seven generations

And together we can share in this dance of life

Act for the future of seven generations

Act for the welfare of seven generations

Who’s Driving the Bus (©2014, lyrics ©2018 Bill Taylor and Jaye Alison Moscariello) – Piano, Vocals.  The intense theme and title came in a dream.  This is the fast and angry version of the sentiment in Nature's Dream.  Jaye and Bill wrote the lyrics and both sing them.  Bill Taylor, music, lyrics, piano and vocals; Jaye Alison Moscariello, lyrics and vocals

Am I cause in my life or just obeying orders?

Listening to Gaia or stuck in human quarters?

Who is driving this bus?

Standing and feeling the beauty of the Earth

Life pushing out on the knife of human greed

We live for life, it’s time to grow up

Live as the whales, take what is given

Oceans now are dying, greed exceeding hunger

Land around us frying, power killing spying

Life gives us all we ever need

Standing and feeling the beauty of the Earth

Life pushing out on the knife of human greed

We live for life, it’s time to grow up

Live wise as whales, take what is given

I am here for all life, healthy, dying, growing

What we take we honor, keep the cycles flowing

Let the love enfold us
