Lush beautiful strings, soft breathy lead/background vocals, and imaginative woodwinds set with percussion, electric bass and drums makes this derivative work of Herbie Hancock’s instrumental “Tell Me a Bedtime Story”, a gorgeous symphonic rendition complete with lyrics and new 6/8 meter. Arranged by Stephan Oberhoff, this magical, fully-orchestrated take on the 1969 jazz classic, delivers a fresh, enigmatic and romantic version of Herbie’s beautiful and soulful composition. Recorded in Los Angeles, CA 2020 – 2021 and co-produced by lead vocalist/songwriter Lisa Andrea Torres and musician/arranger Stephan Oberhoff as he leads the way playing Rhodes, guitar, percussion, virtual strings, and background vocals. Also singing background vocals, tenor sax soloist Greg Diaz enriches this song by his woodwind arrangement and precision phrasing. Outstanding performances by  world-class rhythm section players gives this song a unique texture and feel as French bassist Hadrien Feruad lends his solid groove and subtle nuances along with Cuba-born renown sensitive and creative, drummer Jimmy Branly. Mixed and mastered with impeccable sensitivity and color by Grammy-nominee, MarTeen, this rare gem offers ear candy to both jazz lovers AND music lovers in general.

God Is Love(And So Amazing) Alternative/Christian

God - Is - Love - And - So - Amazing

I've had my share of beat downs, but I found that as long you keep getting back up, it's impossible to fail. We're also putting this song out in January to give people an extra kick in the pants for their New Year's resolutions. A lot of times, people throw in the towel when they are so much closer to a breakthrough than they realize. This song is about never backing down.

Sidelines

I woke up with this tune in my head April 2023. I didn't want humans dancing for the art work and asked Paul to find something with foxes "dancing" (like when we see the kits tumble around in our yard).

Your Touch Still Finds Me

A love song about real-life struggle, connection, and the quiet power of being present for the one you love.

“Your Touch Still Finds Me” is a duet between husband and wife—written from the raw spaces of depression, anxiety, and life’s battles. It’s not about fixing each other. It’s about finding each other—again and again—through every season, storm, and silent night.

💍 20 years strong. A marriage forged in real life, not fairytales.

Your Touch Still Finds Me

He was every 90s Southern Illinois archetype - half hero, half hangover. The life of the party in a world built on loud cards, louder music and big bar tabs. Lived hard, laughed harder, and hit the wall before he saw it coming. A song about charm that burned out and good times that outstayed their welcome.

The Not So Laughing Cavalier

A soft love song to the one I love and lost.

When I was young, I've always had a love for music.  Raise up in the church, and my sisters played the organ.  I taught myself to play basic keys by ear on the organ.  Played for church services. Sung in the choir.  My mom loved to write songs when she was young and thru the years. 

I wrote my first poem, which I dedicated to my sister who died of breast cancer.   In my later years, I continued writing poems and songs1990s to 2005.  After a long Hiatus and Retirement.  I decided to create my first song from a poem I had written. Which is God Is Love (And So Amazing) in 2021.  I dedicated this song to my mom, who died in 2011.  She would have been so proud of me following in her shoes. 

 I created God Sees Your Heart, 2022.  I wrote this song to inspire people to have love, hope, and faith and to never give up.  Whatever you are going thru you can get thru it.  I released the Instrumental Mix Versions of both Songs on Oct 6, 2022.

My desire is to continue writing, creating, and collaborating on new songs.
My favorite charities I contribute to are the American Cancer Society, And Kidney Foundation, The Arts Society.  Also, other charities.
