Rounds

A four-line round about December dragging on…and on…

I’m fortunate to be surrounded by many fine friends. Add some wine and a good movie, and you’ve got yourself a round!

See me teach the round in this video.

This one is a little trickier, but worth the effort.

Listen for the G(add9) chord on ‘wide’!

A cheerful melody with somewhat sad lyrics.

At Strange Weather Choir, a committee member noted with dismay that it seems to rain a lot on our rehearsal nights.

And thus a new round was born! So in the end, those rainclouds did have a silver lining.

TFW you’re in lockdown and you wish you could go outside…

Another tricky one - this one features some staccato notes and a fun moment when you will hear “go-stay-out-in-SIDE”

A spooky minor-key round.

Exchange one of the lines with “I lost my phone, out in the woods” for fun.

Written during COVID times, with the intent to remind folks that friends are never far away!

A very simple and satisfying round.

Works as a 2-phrase round or as a 4-phrase round.

A minor key round.

Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’ slippin’…

For tea drinkers; especially fans of Earl Grey.

I visited the Canberra Sea Shanty Club and was inspired to write a round with a nautical theme.

Possibly I should have added some more ‘yo-ho’s or ‘arrrr’s.
