Firefly Melody was born following a recent group of improvisations around ideas from my song Welsh Dragonfly, which were collectively dubbed the Dragonfly songs.  While the Dragonfly songs were influenced by the bucolic acoustic music of Led Zeppelin, Firefly Melody sought to continue from that same area but expand in a slightly different direction.  In this case, I sought to maintain the mellow mood and reimagine the music with some inspiration from the guitar parts of Nick Drake.  Following that path, Firefly Melody emerged.  From there, Hummingbird Prelude and Hummingbird Melody came next, completing what I’ve dubbed the Serene Summer Suite.  Hope you enjoy.
