Classical composers: Frédéric Chopin, Felix Mendelssohn, Sergei Rachmaninov, Bedrich Smetana. Contemporary composers: Kitaro, Ennio Morricone, Michael Nyman, Vangelis, George Winston, Hans Zimmer. I will never forget the first time I saw Gone with the Wind and, hearing the intermission music, realized that the essence of the story was woven through Max Steiner’s score.
I seek to tell stories with my music -- to capture experiences and emotions. All the pieces in "Myths & Legends" were inspired by timeless narratives of adventure, love and yearning. I recorded the album at the Chicago Recording Company, during a period of record snowstorms, wearing my favorite pink Ugg slippers. People have told me that my music goes well with a glass of wine; helps manage stress while paying bills or sitting in traffic; complements healing massage and Reiki; is calming during cancer treatments.

Just checking in with you my friend and hoping you are well!
A THOUGHT ABOUT ATTITUDE ...
"The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of ATTITUDE on life.
Attitude, to me is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than failures, than successes, than what other people think or say or do.
It is more important than appearance, giftedness or skill. It will make or break a company ...a church ...a home.
The remarkable thing is WE HAVE A CHOICE EVERYDAY regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day. We cannot change our past ...we cannot change the fact that people will act in a certain way.
We cannot change the inevitable. The only thing we can do is play on the ONE STRING we have, and that is our ATTITUDE ...I am convinced that life is 10% what happens to me and 90% how I react to it. And so it is with you... WE ARE IN CHARGE OF OUR ATTITUDE."
ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING ... MAKE YOURS POSITIVE!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP AND YOUR MANY KIND WORDS!
Please stay in touch from time to time and let me know how you are!
Please give my music a listen and let me know what you think!
The holidays are approaching, and I just wanted to wish you Happy Holidays! I hope your music reaches many more ears, and that they are moved by it. :) xoxo.
Recently, I added a new song to my music player called, "Always" which might be one of the best songs I've written so far. The chorus was scored for an entire violin section, however, in studio, I had one violinist, Jan "Yes I Can" Sullins. I asked her to single handedly create the sound of a "Hollywood style" string section. This is almost like telling someone, "Please jump rope one handed 10 times while monkeys nip at your feet." :-)
Lucky for me, Jan worked some magic and it's now track 1 on my newly released CD, "Awakening." To celebrate the release, I've decided to give away the track for free. It's called "Always" and you can download it at http://ping.fm/lQt6I
Thank you so much for the add and the friendship! Wishing you a wonderful week ahead :)
Also, some exciting news - my new album, Meridians, has just been released on iTunes and Amazon MP3! I'm very happy to be able to share it with listeners in a high-quality format.
...music like autumn leaves falling...
