Life offers the experience of many beginnings in the course of being human.  Birth.  Friendship.  Family.  A passion.  A new endeavor.  Romance.  Love.  New Adventure.  Stories About Her is my version of a poignant telling of these stories through the lens of a very special person:  my wife.   Using instruments and arrangements that are delicate and fragile, swift and adventurous, pensive and moving; they seek to stitch together a symphonic tapestry as diverse as life itself.
