ZIGGY is based on a favorite cartoon character of the past. He is funny, slightly clumsy, romantic, very
patriotic, and has a gentle loving spirit. His wonderful attributes are meant to be reflected in the music.
SUNSET is a Texas sunset where there is quiet serenity at the end of the day with nature sounds, and
then a vast “rosy glow” extending over the landscape. It spreads across the horizon and then fades into the
night.

SCHERZO ON A PUN comes from my acquaintance with three punsters--- two in my family and a
fellow musician. All of them are highly skilled in multiple areas, and when they offer a pun, they each wait
to see how long it takes for me to “get it.” Then there is laughter and great admiration on my part of their
cleverness and high intelligence.
