Now I spend my time enjoying the family, travel, wine, playing with computers and being involved in various activities in our local ‘University of the Third Age’ (U3A). 

The copyright of some of my early music compositions has now reverted back to me and these, together with songs from my three musical comedy scripts (see above), can now be offered for use by anyone free of charge.   I only ask that my authorship and copyright is acknowledged.

PDF versions of some of the pieces can be clicked on and printed.    Let me know if you enjoyed them; better still send me a tape, CD or email of your performances.   Have fun!

There’s also information about other publications, a basic family tree, and the origins of the surname Crimlisk.
