For Sure (New composition and lyrics)
I wrote a little ditty on the piano (a vocal duet) and came up with some lyrics to go with it.
I'm hoping to sing it with one of my vocalist friends.
It's called "For Sure" (click here to listen to the basic melody and chords music):
Lyrics - lines alternate between Person #1 (girl) and Person #2 (guy)
Intro / Refrain:
One day, you'll find out that you didn't know.
Yeah, right.
But are you sure?
Yes Sure I'm Sure.
Verse:
Are you sure?
I'm sure.
But are you sure?
Yes sure.
But really sure?
Yes Sir.
Can you be sure?
I'm sure.
Refrain.
Verse.
Refrain 2x to end.
(lyrics and music by Geoff Peters, May 11, 2008. Inspired by some discussions with opinionated colleagues at Javaone, a computer programming conference last week in San Francisco.)

New Trio Recording - Delicate
In March, Mark Greg and I spent three days doing a recording session in our home studio. I'm quite happy with the results. For your listening pleasure here is a sneak preview: an original composition called "Delicate". Please let me know what you think!
(Thanks to Alan for doing a great job of the mixing.)
> Delicate - Mp3 recording of Geoff Peters Trio (jazz)
The piano is a 1960's Steinway B. It still has the original strings (but it's in pretty good shape). Recorded using a MOTU 8-Pre on my Toshiba laptop.
