Recently, I was asked to play during several funerals, with the request being to "just play some hymns." When I began looking for material, I found a wealth of wonderful arrangements for fingerstyle guitar, but none of them were going to work for me in this situation. Naturally, I had only a few days' notice, so I wasn't going to learn and memorize complex arrangements, no matter how beautiful they were. Even the simplest arrangements I found were many pages long, and I didn't want to be turning pages during a funeral service, the way I would if I tried to read the music rather than memorize it. I also realized that in this setting, the focus wasn't on me, or how clever or complex the music was. I just needed to play appropriate music for the occasion that helped set the mood and that didn't detract from the service. Uncomplicated, melodic arrangements would be a plus.My solution forms the basis of this book - my own arrangements that are simple, almost "sketches" of an arrangement. What I decided I needed was a type of book known as a "fake book" in jazz circles - but for hymns - and designed for solo fingerstyle guitar. Jazz fake books are typically limited to just chord names and perhaps melody. I wanted a bit more than that - basically easily-playable arrangements with no complicated parts, and designed to be extended on the fly.

There are two basic approaches to playing fingerstyle arrangements: memorize every note of an intricate piece and play it the same way every time, or start with an outline of the tune, and improvise variations. The first approach has the advantage that the notes are all worked out ahead of time, but takes work to memorize. The music may also get stale over time, since everything is locked in. With the second approach, memorization is easier (or maybe even unnecessary), and you can continually explore new variations, making the music more fun to play, and potentially more fun to listen to.Christmas tunes are ideally suited for the improvisational approach. Most musicians don't need to perform them all year long, and it's challenging to maintain a repertoire of memorized arrangements that get played only during the holidays. The arrangements in this book are designed to be pulled out at a moment's notice, and allow you to perform seasonal music without preparation. These sketches are similar to those found in "fake books," but designed for solo fingerstyle guitar. Jazz fake books are typically limited to just chord names and perhaps melody. These arrangements provide a bit more than that - basically easy-to-play arrangements with no complicated parts that are designed to be extended on the fly.

Nearing the end of the Human Genome Project, its leaders confirmed that humanity was in a steady decline, due to the fall in quality and quantity of the male sperm.They determined what would be the genome of the man to become the next Most Recent Common Ancestor (MRCA), of the human race by the male line. They named this genome Adonis. The female line, originating in Mitochondria Eve, was undamaged as it had only strengthened, as it protected its young from male domination and abuse. They realized that Adonis would need three goddesses to make a family with him, and their children will be leaders in the next generation. He will also impregnate one hundred scientifically selected girls each year to spread Adonis's superior genome and ethics around the globe.Being scientists, they knew that such a man must arise to balance Sir Isaac Newton's Third Law of Motion; in that Every Action creates an equal and opposite reaction. They also knew that psychics and mystics had long declared Universe would not let the likes of the twentieth-century warmongers: Hitler, Stalin, Mussolini, Pol Pot, and others, continue unchallenged.As we know, the twentieth-century warmongers were put down by superior forces and at great cost, in Book 1 of the saga, Adonis awakens as a man of superior intelligence and ethics and knows that warfare is obsolete; if life on earth is to continue. Furthermore, he declares that we should all be living in the long-promised utopia and sets out on a one-man war to bring this about: without bloodshed, political parties, churches, sects, or even followers on social media. The saga progresses now in twelve volumes, each approximately 600 pages, and 200,000 words. Book 1 was published on 26 December 2018 and the remaining books will be published at two monthly intervals throughout 2019 and 2020. The series is published by Amazon with a Kindle version available for reading on any electronic device, and a soft-cover edition available for readers who like to hold their book in their hands.About the AuthorIt is not uncommon to hear the elderly complain about being old. For the authors of this saga, we find it a distinct advantage to be octogenarians. It has given us a world view that can only be had by Living It, a far different perspective than having Learned It.We were born into the early years of the so-called Great Depression and listened to the radio to hear the declaration of The Second World War. Thereafter, we lived through minor wars and rumours of war until the nineteen-seventies. We witnessed disasters in our home-state and around the world, some natural, like floods, and fire, and others as a result of human greed and corruption: like, stock market crashes, inflation and health disasters like the Polio Epidemic of 1937, the Thalidomide Tragedy of 1960, and Tuberculosis: endemic in Australia since 1850 and on the rise again today.But today, everyone has joined us to witnesses history being made in the Financial Services Royal Commission. We ask our readers to remember this low point in the mismanagement of some of our greatest institutions.In publishing, it is not uncommon to have husband and wife as joint authors. Perhaps, in this case, it is a little unusual, as my wife of sixty-three years passed away on the fourteenth of May 2018. If you ask me whether Betty still participates in this work, I can answer YES! Not only through the history, we shared, but through the communications, we have shared since the day she passed from this life.

A DADGAD Christmas is a collection of twenty-one arrangements of Christmas favorites for solo fingerstyle guitar, all in DADGAD tuning - a popular alternate tuning for guitar. The book is divided into two sections: Gig Book - a set of short, easy to play arrangements, and then Performance Arrangements - a collection of more complex performance-ready arrangements. The first part of the book, the Gig Book, contains arrangements that are easy enough for beginner, but that are also meant to act as templates for your own arrangements. With a bit of practice you should be able to pull out these arrangements whenever you are asked to play a Christmas song and read the music, elaborating on the basic arrangements simply by adding your own variations within the basic structure.The second half of the book, Performance Arrangements, features longer, more complete arrangements of nine tunes, perfect for performances in any setting - with friends and family, in church, or in a concert.The book sold through Amazon does not include a CD, you can get the CD in several different ways. You can download the tracks completely free but from the author's website, or if it's easier, you can purchase the tracks from itunes. Finally, if you prefer a physical CD, you can get one, with a jewel case from Amazon.
