| Bacarolle | Finally finished this one off out of desperation | Sept '06 | mp3 | |
New Grass  |
Bit of a blast on the old organ! Now complete with a pedal track and a LH that doesnt fall off the end into the crypt! Must do something about the name though - did'nt write it after a good joint - honest. | Aug '05 | mp3 | |
2004 |

| Hope's Return | Cheerful and simple - isn't life great | May '04 | mid | |
| Winter Promenade |
Late Winter - it has a spring to it - eventually | March '04 | mp3 | |
2003 |

| Xmas Waltz | A bit clunky but who cares anyway at xmas | Oct '03 | mid | |
| October March |
As winter marches on I just couldn't help myself. Don't try marching to it because you will probably fall over as it goes into 3/4 - never was any good at choosing titles. | Nov '03 | mp3 | |
| Dance of the Russian elves |
Felt inspired - just finished it but unfortunately it's too difficult for me to play - now there's a change. Elves now Russian at George's suggestion and have to dance a bit longer. | July '03 | mp3 | |
| Spring Gig | Handel (or perhaps Correlli) may have got here first! | Mar '03 | mid | |
2002 |

| Late November | I like the first idea but not quite sure about the slow bit | Nov '02 | mp3 | |
| Stroll in the Park | Lively stroll with a rest halfway | Oct '02 | mp3 | |
| Romance | Attempt to write something slow - unfortunately missed the mark on the romance front | Sept '02 | mid | |
| Bachy |
New one inspired (except for the name) by my new piano (courtesy of George & Collin). Started off Bach like but ended up like Mendlesson | Aug '02 | mp3 | |
| Music Box | Cheerfull little ditty | May '02 | mid | |
| Eastern Spice | Finally got round to another one. Doesn't stay eastern to the end | May '02 | mid | |
2001 |

| Caprice | Finished at last? I also made an arrangement for cellos | Apr '01 | mp3 | |
| February | Because thats when I wrote it! | Feb '01 | mp3 | |

| Medley |
A lot of ideas and now a bit more coherent thanks to Ellen | 2000 | mp3 | |
pre-1999 |

| For Jackie | I'm not sure Jackie deserved this one! | Oct '99 | mp3 | |
| New Piece | Not a very inspired name | Oct '99 | mp3 | |
| Winter Dream | Also made an arrangement for 2 cellos | Aug '99 | mp3 | |
| Frosty Moonlight Figures |
A lively little waltz | Aug '99 | mp3 | |
| Mariner | Outline for orchestral piece | July '99 | mid | |
| Autumn Leaves | Drags on a bit | Nov '98 | mp3 | |
| Reflections | A little too reflective perhaps | Nov '98 | mid | |
| Merry go round | Cheerful little ditty | Oct '98 | mid | |
| Peter's Hop | After my son Peter's habit of holding on till the last minute! | Aug '98 | mid | |
| Day Dreams |
Originally written for my mother's birthday | July '98 | mp3 | |
| Waltz 2 | Jackie's heard it before! (and so has Brahms) | May '98 | mid | |
| Goblin Dance | I obviously had it in for the goblins at this stage! | Apr '98 | mid | |
| Goblin Variations |
One of the very first | July '98 | mp3 | |
