Music has been in my blood as far back as I remember. I enjoy writing different styles of music whether I'm playing the music myself or writing for other musicians. With today's computers and technology a composer's boundaries are endless. Writing and producing music continues to be exciting and challenging." - Gary .... ................ .. ................ .. ................ .. ................ .. ................ .. ................ .. .. .. .. .. ..

    Writing and recording new music can be PAINFUL! Recently, I added a new song to my music player called, "Always" which might be the best song I've written so far.

    Surprising since it was torturous coming up with the chorus and I nearly committed suicide searching for the right notes. Then, in studio, my violinist Jan Sullins had to single-handedly create the sound of a "Hollywood style" string section all by herself. This led her to a near suicide attempt until I talked her off the ledge.

    So after all this pain and torture, I'm hoping the least you can do is check out "Always," track 1 in my music player. It's from my upcoming album, "Awakening," which is available for pre-order on May 26th at www.MarcEnfroy.com.

    Let me know how it sounds to your ears and if all the pain was worth it.

    Your new solo piano album is truly a jazzy romantic experience, Gary! The classic tunes you interpret brought a lot of nostalgia for me... but my favorite is still *your* composition "Come Home To Me" ~ such a moving little masterpiece :o)
