Duration: 2 min 37 s
Description: An arrangement using midi keyboard with piano, Hammond Organ, and Bass in track assignments in the style of Ray Charles.

I am grateful to Frank Vignola and his backing track since I do not access to a live rhythm section.  I created my piano arrangement on my Yamaha P-80 Electronic keyboard.

Autumn Leaves

This is another song with which I have used multiple tracks to create a "duet with myself". The song bears a 1920 copyright and first publishing attributes the lyrics to Malvin Schonberger and the music to John Schonberger.  Paul Whiteman's version was an eleven-week No. 1 hit in the United States, which stayed 20 weeks in the charts, and sold in excess of two million copies.

Duet With Myself 2. Whispering

This is my simple, no frills recording of this popular tune composed in 1930 by Sam H. Stept with lyrics by Sidney Clare The lyrics are an admonishment between parting lovers, where the singer asks the other to either speak nicely of her, or not at all.

Please Don't Talk About Me When I'm Gone

Piano Rag

Although this beautiful song was popularized by Elvis Presley in the '60's, it was composed long before that in 1926.  Written by Roy Turk and Lou Handman, the song reached the top twenty on the Billboard's Pop Singles chart in 1950.                                                                  I have included the original "verse" or introduction to the song in my recording.  Other than the original recording by the Henry Burr Orchestra in 1927, I have been unable to find other recordings that include the verse.  It is a melodic introduction that compliments the song beautifully.

Drown in My Own Tears (Ray Charles Style)

My goal with this site is to present an eclectic approach to piano, instrumental, and vocal music with a focus on religious music and the American Songbook.  I have incorporated various musical styles and venues into my music including traditional, gospel, contemporary, classical, pop, and mainstream jazz.  It is my hope that listeners will be able to identify with one or more of the musical styles and enjoy my arrangements and compositions.  I am also a nature/wildlife photographer and hope that my music reaches a diverse audience just as biodiversity is a theme of nature and wildlife.
