July, 2024: I Love Your Love
Here's a song born in Tess' rock climbing days, and how her friend would belay her and keep her safe. ...Or is it about Wendi's kindness to me while working with power saws and what not? The truth is... (click here)
June, 2024: Colorado
Living in Mammoth Mountain, California while dreaming of Colorado. A road trip gone bad in a Mexican desert and wanting to get home. We had car trouble and no money, but we never stopped singing. (click here)
April, 2024: Pray It Forward
A song of love, optimism, faith, perseverance, karma, and my life story in a nutshell. Meanwhile, my acoustic guitar, Angel, didn't appear on this song because a friend loaned me his Little Sister. What? (click here)
March, 2024: Let The Water Flow
Is this yet another "Ron" song about the ocean? Being rescued by a lifeguard, perhaps? Well, sort of but, no, it's a rescue of a different sort and it all begins with college soccer. Allow me to explain ... (click here)
October, 2023: My Prayer For You
How is a heart like a bow string? How is a child like an arrow? What's all this about a hope of "better" and what does our German Shorthaired Pointer, Jack, have to say about "My Prayer For You"?... (click here)
September, 2023: Aloha Hawaii
With the recent devastating wildfires in Maui, I thought it was time to finally record this song which I wrote while living on Oahu in the early 70's. Madame Pele has lately been shedding some tears... (click here)

August, 2023: Red Headed Love (For The Better)
Ah, red heads. What can I say? I married a red headed woman and it changed my life for the better. I'll offer a word of caution to you, though, if you're inclined to do the same. Just so you know... (click here)
July, 2023: Roll My Windows Down
Trees ahead of me, trees in the rear view mirror. Trees lining the road on the left and the right. You know what? Let the wind blow in, I want to smell those trees and that mossy ground. It's time I ... (click here)
June, 2023: A Pebble In A Pond
"How can we realistically (and immediately) change the world for the better?" I overheard a group of college students discuss this question and the simple answer sent ripples into a song ... (click here)
May, 2023: Save Me
Ever have something or someone that you just can't get out of your mind, and it's like you're being haunted, and you need to be saved, but this time, from yourself? Save me from me! ... (click here)
April, 2023: I Am Saved
A mile or two out to sea on a standup paddle board late at night and all is black. Where's the shore? Storms have caused severe flooding and you climb up on your own roof to escape... (click here)
March, 2023: Better Read The Bible
Some folks buy books from experts to explain the Bible to them. I know someone who is considered something of an expert on the Bible but has never actually read it. Hmmm... (click here)
February, 2023: Entertaining Angels
Make eye contact. Better yet, sit down and share a meal together. Listen to a life story. Let a homeless person know they're seen and you might well be entertaining an angel, unaware. (click here)
January, 2023: God's Serenade
Sometimes we have to escape the noise to hear the music. There's music in the stars, in the waves, in the night sky and in each of us, if only we get still and listen. Job 13:5 - look it up! (click here)
December, 2022: Both Eyes Blind
Here's a song about checking out the waves before you go surfing, checking out cars before you buy one, and, oh wait... it's really a love song? What? ...and it starts with drums? (click here)
November, 2022: It Wasn't The Nails
Ah, November... I think of it as the month of Thanksgiving. So why a song about nails and not a song about a hot turkey dinner? Well, first, because I don't have a turkey dinner song, and... (click here)
October, 2022: Living On The Wings Of Love
I don't want to simply exist, I want to live. I want to fly. I want true love and I want a ticket to a front row set in Heaven. "Living On The Wings Of Love" was a fun song to record, and... (click here)
September, 2022: Take Heart
Have courage, live in hope and hold your head high, for things are bound to get better. Take Heart. Here's a song that I wrote to myself long ago, but which touched another heart, as well. (click here)
August, 2022: The Likes Of Me
"The Likes Of Me" is a song of wonderment, sacrifice, gratitude and, mostly, of a divinely inspired hope. It questions the religions of men, but not the Spirit that first inspired those religions. (click here)
July, 2022: I Am Your Love Song
What do Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Japanese Flower Arrangements have to do with Wendi's perfect love song? Find out in July's song release, an original that I like to call, "I Am Your Love Song". (click here)
June, 2022: You'd Have To Be Crazy (To Fish In This Weather)

April, 2022: The Painter
With an infinite palette of colors this world was painted, and how blessed are we to have been painted here. April's recording is of an original song called "The Painter". (click here)
March, 2022: World Peace
This month's song, "World Peace", is a prayer for us all but this particular recording was made for the people of Ukraine. It's a prayer of a song, but prayers are answered so... World Peace. (click here)

"A Light in the Darkness" is a song dedicated to Conrad and Paola Leslie, honoring their search to find joy in the lives after their son, Nicholas, was killed by a terrorist on Bastille Day, 2016, in France. (click here)
