Sheet music engraved from the original and transposed by Hailey McAvoy with the help of her friends. Thanks Hailey! (see www.haileymcavoy.com) Hub often wrote songs for specific singers, often as a gift to them. His sister-in-law, Dori Cole Miller, was a mezzo-soprano and Hub often wrote for her.

Beautiful Music 13 Oct 76 for Dori Miller
What music means to me and what Dori means to me
come together in this song: the three metaphysics;
existence, beauty, and love.

Dandelions - High Voice
Seattle 1968 for Carol Webber
I learned these words from a little old lady on the #4 bus (Madison Park) in Seattle. She gave them to me out of her head and I have never discovered their origin. She said she thought they'd make a good song. 13 years later I give the song to Carol Webber. It is as short as my love for her is long.

Rum-Sticka-Fumadiddle - Low Voice
Rum-Sticka-Fumadiddle 25 Jun 80 for Dori Miller and Jason Miller
This Song is doubly a gift.
First: For Dori Miller on her birthday 25 Jun 1980.
But Second: For Jason Miller from his great great grandma Miller who taught it to my Grandmother (Louli Miller) who in turn taught it to me some 40 years ago.
The closing Allegro represents rather faithfully what learned from her.

Spinning Song - Low
Spinning Song 21 Jan 76 for Barbara and Kit Chapman
Barbara and Kit Chapman, mother and daughter, are friends of mine
who weave wool into beautiful things. Many times I have seen them
turn away from the everyday problems of life and lose themselves in
their skill and industry. And when they returned they were renewed
and refreshed. My house is filled with their interwoven gifts and love.
This song is my response.

Nika Wawa Klone Wawa (I tell you three times) - Low Voice
It was accepted custom among Coast Tribes that in
story telling and negotiations, one was permitted to lie
twice, but twice only. This diplomatic maneuver
helped save face. Thus the grammatical expression "I
tell you three times" is the equivalent of the English..
"the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."

Rain - Low Voice
Rain Come a Fallin' 27 April 75
Driving home one night, the slosh of my windshield
wipers struck a steady beat in my mind. On the 1-5
Lake Union bridge the seeds of this song formed;
ten hours later it was on paper.

16 Jan 1981 for Barbara Coffin
The words were in my diary for 15 years before I finally
wrote the music as a birthday present. Anyone with a
three octave range will enjoy it.

Little Stream - Low Voice
Little Stream 21 Dec 73 for Kit Chapman
After 5 years of living in NYC I returned to the Northwest, wondering
what I would do for a living, but thankful to be back to the earth and
the things I loved the most. I hiked up to Gothic Basin one day
(Cascades near Monte Cristo) and sat there and watched, and listened,
and thought. This song is what happened.
