music and lyrics, by keith haydon
Welcome!
Come put your feet up feet, relax and listen to some (mostly) original music.This is a labor of love...and a whole lot of self-indulgence.
I just write stuff I like to write, and often, it's not very good.
But sometimes I do stuff I'm willing to share...and you'll find it, here
A special thank you to my wife, Barbara, for the vocals on "Legend in Your Own Time".
It was crazy fun to work with you on this, and I couldn't have enjoyed it more!
Another "thanks" goes to John Corda for the fabulous piano he added to "Can't Understand It".
I am so grateful and thankful that you were willing to do play on this.
That's about it.
I'd love to hear from you!!
About Keith
50+ years ago, I learned to play guitar so I could participate in "Folk Masses" -a new thing for Episcopal churches in those days.
Since then, I've been a couple of musical groups, a trio, a few duos and in the end, just played solo for a little while.
Along the way, I'd managed to write the music for a production of "Winnie The Pooh" at Symphony Hall in Springfield MA.
What a wonderful (and humbling) experience that was!
For many years I'd performed for the "Rays of Hope" walk to benefit breast cancer research. And, I'd also played at the Eastern States Exposition/Big E, in West Springfield.
Today, I perform on rare occasions, at church.
A few times a year, I get together with bandmates from my old trio ("3 for a Quarter") to play some oldies.
Other than that, I like to write, play music and just "play with" music.
Like I said, it's a self-indulgent thing subject to only my whims. :)
Thank you Sparkie Allison and Michael Ferry! It was a privilege to be asked to play on your recordings.
I included them, here, for your listening pleasure.
Say hello!
