Listen to the fox’s bark,
Moonlight glowing through the dark,
Evil things will soon be lost,
Melting away like silver frost.

“Gone with the frost” composed and performed with guitar and violins by Sanford Ross Bender on December 14, 2024.
Ballad of the barking dog
Once I had a sweetheart (roughly interpreted)
This traditional song of which I only play guitar was most memorably played and sung by Bert Jansch on his record album entitled “Rosemary Lane”. Bert Jansch (since gone from this world) was probably more influencial than many other musicians on my psyche (human mind, soul, and spirit). My improvised version is imperfect and perhaps flawed in its brevity, but nevertheless is expressive of the vulnerability that is revealed in matters of the heart. S.R.B.
Waves of Leaves
She runs through my mind like an apparition
