Song Writing and Music Making
You'll find some of my original songs and collaborations here. The site is simply a place where people can check my attempts at being creative. I don't think anyone I don't know would find the site so if you want more "about me" info, you can simply ask me. (Notes on the the "Visitors Page" go to my email.)
Where the website name, Orange Peel Sailboats, comes from:
How to make an orange peel sailboat:
1. Cut an orange in quarters.
2. Peel the quartered orange. (Eating the orange is a good idea.)
3. Place a tooth pick in the peel to act as a mast.
4. Cut a piece of paper in a triangle of appropriate size to glue on to the toothpick to act as a flag...decorate the flag or leave the flag plain as you will.
5. Find some water of appropriate expanse to sail your "boat."
6. Exercise your imagination.
