This Is It! (2009)
Friday, 5th February 2010
January 26 was a special day for me.
Not only was it my 52nd birthday, but it was also the day I got my first Blu-ray Player as a birthday present. Well, it served a dual purpose as a gift for yours truly, but I feel better knowing it can be shared by the entire family.
January 26 was also the day that This Is It! was released on Blu-ray. So, how fitting that I also received that as a gift to try out on the new Blu-ray player. Read more
Some Random Experimental and Improvised Piano Music….
Tuesday, 12th January 2010
I’m posting what I feel are my more significant recordings on piano. These are home recordings that are improvised and somewhat experimental, going for a more ambient feel. Randomly recorded, randomly realized…
Just showcasing the following pieces to give some kind of perspective on what I have done, because I want to be able to record more improvised pieces on my Yamaha Grand Piano in 2010, rather than on a keyboard like I had done in the past.
Here are some random selections:
. . . .
The Quiet Distance That Surrounds Me
. . . .
Dawn’s Inspiration
. . . .
Drifting Along A Peaceful Afternoon
. . . .
The Story of Aein
. . . .
Chasing A Dream
. . . .
Sunday Afternoon
My improvisation skills have changed dramatically from these improvised pieces. I think people will notice a distinct transformation in style and technique. Hopefully, I can “capture” what I am currently doing with better recording quality. Plus, I intend to use only the grand piano in its natural, organic state.
Hopefully, there will be much success in this, in the new year.

Christmas Music: A Few Personal Favorites
Thursday, 24th December 2009
Christmas wouldn’t be the same without our all-time favorite Christmas Songs sung by our favorite musical artists. And I just wanted to take the time to share a few of my favorite Christmas CDs, that I play every year.
. . . .
Sarah McLachlan
Wintersong
Sarah McLachlan is one of my all-time favorite female singer-songwriters in the Folk/Pop/Rock genre. She is gifted with a beautiful, ethereal voice.
Her album “Wintersong” (released in October 2006), reflects the emotions of the Winter/Christmas season, both the joyous and the melancholy. I particularly like her rendition of “Christmas Time Is Here”, with Diana Krall on piano. Read more
