I have little time anymore to play piano or violin, but today I found a moment in the sun at my desk to do just that. The comfort was too much to pass up some time to just sit play my grandfather's violin. As soon as I picked it up I found myself switching on the mic's to record this lovely David Richardson Composition: Caliope House. It's a short piece, I heard it played first by Alasdair Fraser, and I simply had to have it in my repertoire.
Hint hint nudge nudge! If one of my fine guitarist neighbours would like attempt to strum the accompaniment into this short track, well here's the sheet music with some chord suggestions.

Ok, so I'm being daring here and I did the guitar part myself with my limited ability to actually play it or even tune it to the violin. Anyways, I'm still saying anyone is more than welcome to add instruments. Here's Caliope House with Guitar.

Ok, I decided to spend a little time with my folk roots this evening. Thinking a fun upbeat Scottish march would be nice. :-)
I wanted a relevant name for my tune so here I give you The Vox March. Is there already a Vox March? Ach aye I believe 'tis not so! ha! Maybe it should be called A Vox March instead.. hmmm... well whatever. :-P
Anyways, off to bed with me...
Again, Listen if you feel the urge.. it's a short one.
Edit: I kinda added to it...so it's longer than when I originally posted it. My aplogies
