A Romantic Memory
There we were, my high school girlfriend and I, near some sand dunes at Jones Beach on Long Island. She said, let’s see how long we can kiss. How long? How long. Okay.
And here, all these years later, is my song about that. It’s called Kiss Me Longer.
Feel the warmth of the ocean breeze as you dive into this romantic melody. 🎶 Let “Kiss Me Longer” take you on a dreamy journey!
Words and Music by John Dusenberry, vocal by Aubry Sullivan.

Three Different Christmas Songs
A few years ago I wrote the music for Allan Provost’s lyric about a feeling of sadness at Christmas time, “Where Will I Be Next Christmas?”, which may be appropriate for these pandemic times.
For some reason, this year, maybe because I was thinking about simpler, happier times in the past, or perhaps thinking ahead to a post-pandemic Christmas, I don’t know, but I decided to write a cheerful song, “A Christmas Toast”.
And so here they are:
A Christmas Toast – Music and Lyrics by John Dusenberry
Where Will I Be Next Christmas? – Lyrics by Allan Provost, Music by John Dusenberry
And then a few years later, Elizabeth Keyser, sister of my friend and former workmate Ralph Keyser, asked me to set her "A Seasonal Preference" poem to music. It's about a preferred way of celebrating the holiday.
