Take Another Step

In life there are many paths and only one destination... Love.

I wrote this song for the First Annual Father's Day Concert to express my gratitude for the trail my father blazed, allowing me to follow in his footsteps.

Meet Me At The Library

Another fun acoustic version of the popular song

originally released on Will Hale's CD, I Love Everything.

Wise Owl

Sometimes the most important part of music

is what you don't play and how well you listen.

Garden Song

Words and music by Dave Mallett

The seeds of our heart's desires often grow slowly.

When we grow a little each day, we don't always notice

how much we have changed.

Ode To Joy

This beautiful classic melody was written in 1823 by

Ludwig Van Beethoven as part of his Symphony no. 9.

(Will Hale played his Yamaha classical guitar.)

Acorn Song

It's easy to be optimistic when I can see

so much potential in the world.

Perfect World

I have found, to be a perfect human

I need to be willing to make a few mistakes and

accept myself knowing my intentions are always for good.

Have You Ever Felt Like Crying

Inspired by my nephew Zack when he was five and running around the living room. He accidentally Slammed! face first into the wall. He tried to be brave but like the song says "when it hurts you know it hurts". Luckily tears can also spring from overwhelming joy!

Hammer Ring

Work songs have a good steady beat. Like the rhythm

of our heartbeat, they can bring comfort to our lives

and make our work a little easier.

I Am Free, I Am Unlimited

Words and music by Janet Bowser Manning

This song is a Unity hymn that captures the spirit of a speech Martin Luther King gave using three small words to express his message "All Here Now."

Spanish Flang Dang Ditty

Elizabeth Cotton's guitar playing style continually inspires me. In the spirit of traditional music I added a few bits to her arrangement. (Will played his Yamaha classical guitar in an open G tuning.)

Peace Greeting Dance

Beethoven melody from Pastoral Symphony, Words traditional

The Peace Greeting Dance is translated into many different languages for the Dances of Universal Peace. Please feel free to contact Tadpole Parade if you know additional languages to add.

Snowfall

Quite possibly the first song I wrote. It was a lovely winter evening and big fluffy snow flakes were falling gracefully outside my window. This song sounds a lot like it looked.

May The Road

Traditional Irish words, music by Nickomo

From the beginning of time, movement, song and story have brought people together. The Peace Greeting Dance and May The Road are from The Dances of Universal Peace which are part of this timeless tradition.
