about

Someday
Damon Buxton

For David Wayne Hallas

1.
Rome
D A D G Bb D (capo 2)
My father was a businessman who negotiated the manufacture of aircraft components in Italy. I travelled there with him as a child and it forever changed my view of art, design, love, and beauty.

2.
Jesu Joy Of Man’s Desiring
D A D G A D (capo 1)
I have always enjoyed this piece and its challenge of notes that are very high next to those that are low. Johann Sebastian Bach, 1783.

3.
Forty One Years
D A D G A D (capo 1)
Dave and I were there for each other during many times, good and bad, over 41 years. He was a good man and I am not alone in thinking he was a better friend to me that I ever had the capacity to be for him. There are no more somedays now. Rest well, old friend.

4.
The Day You Told Me
D G D G B D
This song was inspired by a line in a poem by Maxine McCuller, a gifted writer and thinker with a kind and beautiful soul.

5.
Caro Mio Ben
D A D G A D (capo 1)
If you know this one you probably took voice lessons or studied opera. I only play part of it here, as a variation. Tommaso Giordani, 1783.

6.
Someday
D A D G B E
I began this piece wishing for more time with someone. Eventually I realized that we got to spend the time we got to spend, and it was beautiful. As I consider the beauty in the world around me, I am grateful for having been able to appreciate it.

7.
Spoken In A Dream
A D F# B
I was gifted a koa soprano ukulele and in European tuning it opened up and astonished me with its tone and volume.

8.
Cat’s Whiskers Waltz
D G D G B D (capo 1)
Waltzes are fun to write and they seem to come naturally to me. This one is for our cats Fred and Belle, who sometimes run around making each other crazy.

9.
Luthier
D A D G Bb D (capo 2)
For David Haxton, who made two of my guitars and has maintained all the others, and for all those who make fine musical instruments out of wood.

10.
Waiting
A D F B
Another piece on the little koa. The minor tuning here creates a tension that feels a lot like waiting.

11.
Safe And Sound
C G D G B D
I do a lot of driving. My wife worries. So this is a song for her and a promise to arrive home safe and sound.

12.
Angel At The Well
A C E A
Sometimes you find yourself in a position to help someone without them knowing. I find it's good to do it.

13.
Nimbus
C G C G C D
This came into my head over the clouds on an airplane late one night, metal wings cutting through the air, to carry me safely home.

14.
Mother And Child
D G D G B D
For all mothers and their children.

15.
America The Beautiful
D A D G A D (capo 1)
This piece speaks to what I feel about our beautiful democracy and what it needs right now. Samuel Ward, 1882.
