Some days are just like that, but it won't last forever - here comes the sun!

Another Rainy Day

One of the most interesting compositions I've ever done as far as progressions/chords used

A Higher Place

Just a raw recording of an improvisation with my Knabe baby grand piano recorded late one evening.

Evening Colors

At the end of a recording session I asked the technician to keep recording so I could play an improv using the progression from Pachelbel's Canon in D and even has a little 7/8 time mixed in.  Using a Young Chang baby grand with strings that really sing!

Early Sunrise

Winter is finally over, and new life springs forth!

A Time of Refreshing CD version

The First Day of Spring

Beautiful Pain  (A four chord composition   Dm Am Gm C)

Beyond The Pain

Some things money just can't buy, and for me one of the most valuable of those is spending time with my bride of 44 years.

Time With You

I was inspired to take a break from my work tonight and sit down and record something.  Now I have something to listen to while I get back to my work!

Angel Song

The world was dramatically changed for the better with the birth of a baby in a remote village called Bethlehem.  And that change that happened 2,000 years ago changed my heart as well.  Merry Christmas!

The Miracle of Christmas

This music was inspired by the music of George Winston with a repeating pattern in the left hand and playing/improvising to it with the right hand.  May you find joy in life, even in the midst of the storms that are sure to come.

Joy in the Storm (Piano Solo)

A mix of piano solo and heavy orchestration.

Rainstorm

It is always good to remember to step off of the merry-go-round of life every once in a while and reflect on the blessings that life, family, friends and really LIVING are.

Reflections

Nothing like the feeling at the end of a long journey and are almost home.

Almost Home

An exploration of the upper end of the piano.  One evening when playing with my new DAW (Pianoteq) I noticed that the upper notes especially sounded very realistic, so decided to turn on record and just play something only using the high notes.  The first time I ran into a snag about a minute in so stopped and started over, and this was the result.  I have to admit that what I recorded is beyond my ability and am still amazed when I listen to this track.

Above the Stars

Right at bed time I get this urge to record a longer improvisation, so of course had to do that!  Okay, NOW its bed time - good night.

Stormy Calm

Be kind to others - you never know what secret battle or pain they are fighting - be kind to others.

Weeping in the Desert (At the End of Myself)

Music I composed to go with a video tour of my wife's amazing Christmas decorations and lights inside and outside our home.

Behind the Looking Glass

When I was about 12, my dad bought us a Wurlitzer organ that I was immediately drawn to.  I took lessons for a couple of years, and then started playing (for pay!!) at a local church near Eureka, CA.  Then we moved back to Sacramento and I played at a couple of churches there (still getting paid, wow).  Anyway, when I moved to college in Moses Lake, WA, where I still live, there was no organ around but there was a piano.  From that day forth I became a lover of the piano.  I've played on church worship teams for over 30 years, as well as several rock bands, but my real passion is writing music.  I find it fascinating that from 12 different tones, an unlimited amount of music can be written - kind of like snowflakes, or God, even.  Over the last few years I've been influenced greatly by Yanni, as well as Brian Crain, Giovanni, and others.  I write instrumental music, featuring the piano and often supported with strings, etc - plus I get out my bass guitar on some songs.  I hope my music will bring healing and rest to you.  My first album is called "A Time of Refreshing", the second one is "A Time of Hope", the third "A Time of Healing" and the fourth "A Time of Reflection".  They are all available on Amazon, iTunes, CDbaby, etc.  The CD versions have all the final revisions and are also in WAV files which is supposed to be better quality than the MP3.  My current project will be called "A Time of Joy" (seeing a pattern here?).
My lovely wife and I have nine kids (yes, all ours), several of whom have followed me musically and I'm sure will surpass me at some point.  (They just told me they have ALREADY surpassed me......oh well).  We love each other, we love God, and we love music.  I'm thankful for SoundCloud as well.  Have a great day!
