Absolutely beautiful composition, arrangement and performance!

This is magnificent playing and an incredible composition! Thank you! :)

I created a music video for this. You can watch it at

This is an Improv. Each track is layered at the piano. I have been a bit down lately because I am not well. Life is hard right now. It has made me very conscious of how precious time is, and how fast it is going by. We always think we have more time and therefore we waste it on things that don't matter.

I am computerizing all of the music, piano arrangements, lead sheets, lyrics along with photo shoots over the past 50 years in an attempt to document who I am and where I was at each stage of my life and music. I was never even close to being well known but that has little to do with the enjoyment of creating music or the quality and the personal growth we go through during life. My children were with me from birth as I played music around the country but I doubt if they know or even remember the music I wrote throughout their life, so how will their children and grandchildren understand who I am? When you create music it is like a diary. As I enter it into the computer note by note I am reliving the time when it was written. I didn't "decide" to be a musician. It wasn't a choice. It is who I am since I was born. It was always there. I need more time . . .

Searching For Hope

Hi everyone!

I present you one of my dearest compositions from 2005 called "LOST IN THE LIGHT".

The arrangement is made tonight, mostly recorded in one take with very few exceptions.

Also it's my first time producing a composition of mine, so it was really exciting. :)

Above all, I hope you will enjoy it! 😊😉


Comments are really welcome!

"All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us." - J.R.R. Tolkien

Time whispers constantly in the background of our lives, reminding us that we have a limited amount of it, and should strive to use it wisely and live with purpose.
