Program Notes
Fishing with a Friend was composed between June 12-18, 2015, during a fly fishing and camping trip at Indian Creek Campground in Yellowstone National Park in my little composing studio (tent) at campsite #73. I spent the early mornings and late evenings composing and the afternoons and early evenings fly fishing.
A musical impression, of an old Ouachita Baptist University (Arkadelphia, Arkansas) memory, of a lazy Saturday morning, spent fishing with a friend down on the river bank running behind the music building.
​
The music is intentionally quiet, sentimental, and reflective of the sights, sounds, and gently blowing breeze surrounding the river's slow-moving current.
