The joy that I felt after booking a family trip to the historic city of Sevilla, Spain, lead to this tune. Thanks to MuseScore, I can easily write it down and share it with you, without the need for myself to make a perfect rendition. Computer output…
My grandpa was born next to a water tower, so that’s where the name of this new tune comes from. Did you know we have a water tower in Holland that looks like the ancient Irish round towers built near monasteries like Glendalough? And here’s…
This new tune was named after my guess of the time when there will be just a few human languages left in the world. As human contact gets easier, more and more people speak the a few common languages. Let’s not worry too much about how the world looks…
Sometimes I just forget why I gave a tune a certain name. This tune is one like that. Maybe it had to do with the recent neo-Nazi dumb-asses that exposed themselves too often in the news last week. In this case it might be best I forget…

This new happy tune could well make you dance, like we saw today in the Ukrainian parliament. Well, that wasn’t a dance actually. Oleh Barna, a puppet of the Chocolate King, lifted Prime Minister Yatsenyuk from the podium during his speech. The Chocolate King is the nickname of President Petro Poroshenko….
This tune I dedicate to the people from Homs, one of Syria’s ruined cities. I wrote it when the news came in that Homs was lost and back under control of Assad’s murderous clan. For what we know of the situation, they say there’s very little left of…
