Sabbath Songs III CD Released, Featuring 8 of My Pieces
New Stage Play by Layne Dearden with Songs by Daniel Carter
Layne is a recently retired faculty member of BYU Idaho. He was my first English instructor in college when BYU Idaho was still Ricks College, some 30-odd years ago. He tracked me down about three years ago and told me he was writing a play and wondered if I could be interested in writing music for it. I read the script was immediately captivated by the story.In between all the things that happen to us in life, we are working on this wonderful show. It's about a sheep ranching family in Twin Falls, Idaho. (I grew up in Boise Valley!) The father, Will Braddow, is just deceased. His wife preceeded him in death just a few years before. And now the family has come home to lay their father to rest, along with some very troubling skeletons in the family closet. The issues resolve themselves with humor, wit and poignancy. Siblings find hope and understanding in each other in a story in which nearly anyone can relate.
Keep watching here for updates on progress and readings.

• Award winning composer/songwriter.
