PIANO MUSIC and CHRISTMAS SONGS

Allow yourself to be drawn into the colorful and evocative world of my two CDs of piano music. Listen to sound clips and relax to the moods of the day and the changing seasons highlighted in the Morning to Midnight collection, or be transported to that iconic of all tourist destinations, San Francisco, captured in my kaleidscopic San Francisco Souvenirs. Read the TESTIMONIALS page and discover why so many have found this unique blend of Classical and Popular music excellent background for work, study, driving, meditation, medical offices, restaurants, cocktail parties and situations calling for a restful and relaxing ambiance. My extensive Classical training ensures the musical cognoscenti will find many subtleties to engage their attention as well. If you're a pianist, or want to provide a unique gift for one, treat yourself to the sheet music of your favorite selections as provided on the SHEET MUSIC page.

HOLIDAY SEASON SONGS

If you love holiday perennials like "White Christmas" and "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas," you will probably enjoy my Holiday Season Songs. In the 1980s, I co-wrote and produced a successful San Francisco Christmas Review that ran for several years in the Bay Area. The show's title song, "Never a White Christmas," won first prize in a local Christmas Song Contest, and several Bay Area singers including now-famous cabaret diva Wesla Whitfield recorded this and other songs from the heart-warming show, celebrating the holiday spirit in that snow-less city. The Review's show-stopping "Let's Give Thanks," a rare Thanksgiving song written in the Popular idiom, praises those things for which we all can be grateful and may one day become a holiday classic.
