Theatre Music:

    Songs from Seattle Eclectic, a musical review, written in the early 80's in collaboration with lyricist Jean Burch Falls

            Seattle Eclectic, opening number of local architectural sightseeing
            In the City, the haunting and joy of ambition
            Cherries , in the Pike Place Market
            A Mother's Lullaby, still makes me weep
            LA/NY (What on Earth are you Doing Back Here?), old friends in far off cities
            I Want a Car, nostaligia during the first oil crisis in the 70s
            Friends We Are Not, the mystery of ineluctable attraction
            What I Don't Take Nobody Takes, when things are stacked against you
            I'm A Man of My Time, a hat shuffle by the gents doing the stacking
            Vow Me No Vow, just trying to keep it casual
            Times I Wondered, but then it goes deep
            It's the Time that it Took, when things don't work out
            When We didn't have Sports and Culture, before we became so "liveable"
            Rain, it does that sometimes in Seattle
            Where Else Could You Find It?, a finale love fest for all things Seattle
