Jerry sometimes writes about himself in the third person. He composes music. He plays a lot of different musical instruments. He works as a software engineer. He sings in a church choir. He plays in a handbell choir. He's a member of a folk-harp society. He lives in California. He's married and has two adult sons, and an adult sort-of-step-daughter who lives in Florida.
Since tha intarwebs exist for the purpose of posting pictures of cats, here's a picture of "Isabella Badcat Bauer". Izzy was adopted from "Towncats", a pet shelter and placement agency. She's of uncertain heritage, but by appearance and demeanor, she's got a lot of "Maine Coon Cat" in her family tree.
Here's one of the American carols I mentioned in the previous post. It's based on an old hymn tune. I've arranged it for SATB choir, bowed psaltery, and autoharp. This audio was generated by Sibelius (music authoring software).
Cradle Hymn
Hush, my babe, lie still and slumber.
Holy angels guard thy bed.
Heavenly blessings without number
Gently steal in on thy head.
How much better art thou attended
Than the Son of God could be
When from heaven He descended
And became a child like thee.
Soft and easy is thy cradle.
Cold and hard the Savior lay,
When His birthplace was a stable
And His softest bed was hay.
Hush, my babe, lie still and slumber.
Holy angels guard thy bed.
Heavenly blessings without number
Gently steal in on thy head.

Here it is, the middle of July, and I'm working on Christmas music. In the queue are some American carols. I'll say some more about those in subsequent posts. Meanwhile, here's an arrangement I did several years ago. This is all live -- no computer trickery here. Every sound is the result of one of my fingers striking a key in real time.
