This page is dedicated to my beautiful wife who inspired me to compose this music because of her love for anything to do with faeries. Speaking of faeries, here is a little story on how I met her. This is how it all started out...... I was out in the garden with my jar of ladybugs that just arrived from Burpee's strategically placing them among the tender shoots to ward off those invisible pests which gobble up the leaves before they have the chance to develop into tasty tomatoes. As the last of the ladybugs settled into their new home I saw a flash out of the corner of my eye. Much too early for the hummingbirds to return. I backed off and surveyed the garden. There.. I saw it again. It moved so fast it appeared as a small almost invisible streak. Was it eating my ladybugs? NOT MY LADYBUGS!!! I have been known for my quick reflexes but it must have been dumb luck as I swept my open jar through the air as the flash appeared out of no where and ended up in my jar. I had just enough sense to put on the lid in the same motion. Even captured in the jar this light moved with incredible quickness. The National Enquirer was the first thought that came into my head. What will they pay for this? Millions of dollars danced through my mind. I must have been in a stupor for five to ten minutes when I felt a tap on my shoulder. I turned around and saw this strangely dressed little man wearing a pointed cap and I swear his feet were not touching the ground. Hey, buddy... How about letting Tinkerbell out of the jar. The story continued...... Men in Black meets Tinkerbell Being a MiB it was my duty to investigate this Tinkerbell phenomena. First of all Peter Pan was put in the witness protection program, never to be seen again. Tinkerbell remained in the jar for two days, but pixie dust started to accumulate on the bottom of the jar. During the slow periods of the investigation I would turn over the jar and watch the pixie dust fall down on Tinkerbell like a snow globe. Finally, I decided to release Tinkerbell from the jar in a sealed room from which she could not escape. What happened next was completely unexpected. She moved around the room so quickly I could barely see more than a translucent flash. For a while I thought she had escaped. Something was in my pants. Now I know why Peter Pan would not let her go. There was no need for the government to know any more details. I told them she flew out the window. This will be our little secret. I hope you enjoy the music.

Lyrics
A LONG WAY FROM HOME I woke up one day A long way from home Can you show the way to go? Alone in a world Of fairies, trolls, and gnomes I guess things don't turn out Like it had been planned. I walked down a road That took me nowhere Can you show the way to go? Every step I took Never got me there While walking in circles My mind was confused. Thanks to the fairy that came along She took my hand and led the way Everything was like a dream Nothing was real Until my fairy came. Was caught by a troll And strapped to a bed Can you help me free myself? I just closed my eyes And inside my head Were my memories of the Things I left at home. (Musical verse) Thanks to the fairy that came along She took my hand and led the way Everything was like a dream Nothing was real Until my fairy came. I woke up one day A long way from home Can you show the way to go? Alone in a world Of fairies, trolls, and gnomes I guess things don't turn out Like it had been planned.
