I'm excited to be releasing my latest song, Darn Tough Vermont (Brave Little State), featuring wonderful narration by Gov. Jim Douglas (2003-2011). I wrote it just after the catastrophic flooding across much of Vermont last July. While crafting this song, the devastating Flood of 1927 came to mind and the powerful words of Calvin Coolidge found their way into the lyrics. Gov. Douglas serves as Vice Chair of the Calvin Coolidge Presidential Foundation and is a devotee of our 30th president (who was born on July 4th. 1872 in Plymouth Notch, Vermont). He graciously made an extra effort to come over to Danville's Roadside Recording Studio (Ryan Dauphin, Prop) to lend his voice to the “Coolidge” sections of the song.
FREE downloads are available in the hope that you'll consider a donation to the VT Flood Response & Recovery Fund 2023

My song, Rocky Mountain Oysters, was streamed on TikTok an amazing 32,868 times in September! Sadly, I received $0.00000000 in royalties. Apparently, some TikTok video creator paid pennies to add the song to their short video. I really don't want to go to the site; any TikTok users want to check it out for me?

I'm now on Bandcamp

Rough but Ready and other unpolished gems, by Dwight Lakey 10 track album

Along my journey as a sometime songwriter, I had a song, "Serenity Now," that I always heard as a choral piece rather than a solo w/guitar. With the encouragement of others and the collaboration of my arranger, Jon Burr, the song is now fully-scored for Soprano-Alto-Tenor-Bass choir w/piano accompaniment. It is available now with a beautiful sample recording featuring Dean Madonia as soloist. Check it out at:

This song came to life quite a while back but has never been out in public. Check it out:
