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

As I was creating this arrangement of "I'll Fly Away", I kept thinking of the magnificence of birds in flight.  As a wildlife photographer, I have attempted to capture the beauty of these creatures as they flew in front of my camera.  I have created a video entitled "Come Fly with Me" which can be see at:

Pop Goes The Weasel

I wanted to add my two cents worth to this wonderful jazz standard with the help of Mr. Sunnybass on acoustic bass. Recorded with a Yamaha Digital Piano P-525 with a midi connection in to Logic Pro X.

Out of Nowhere

This is the soundtrack of an educational video created to demonstrate effective techniques for the selection and placement of microphones for recording a grand piano. The piano was a Steinway Model D concert grand courtesy of the Performing Arts Center of Opelika Alabama.

Joy to the World

Silent Night

An arrangement using midi keyboard with piano, Hammond Organ, and Bass in track assignments in the style of Ray Charles.

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.
