Literature: |
The Abrogation of Musica Ficta in the Missa Papae Marcelli of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina - Written in 1979-1980 as a Master's Thesis in Music History at Western Illinois University. This work proved to be "too controversial" for my advisors and I subsequently left the university without a degree. They actually refused to even read it. This was written just prior to my conversion to Christianity later in 1980.
Spiritual Thoughts (1989-1993) - My personal journal for these years is overall upbeat, but it's not all about the victories.
Ten Year Bible
Journey (1999-2008) - Recently completed collection of Bible
Studies currently available free and on-line at: Table of Contents.

Musical Mechanics - I went back and compiled and organized much of what I'd learned in over 30 years about this wonderful soul language called music. Covers topics from tuning a guitar to best ranges for orchestral instruments.
Scale
Patterns for Classical Guitarists - a simple, but unique,
one-page guide that continues to genuinely benefit my playing and could
help yours too.
