Santa Rosa
Available Online at CD Baby

My original CD, Santa Rosa, is now available for sale online at
www.cdbaby.com.   Here's a little brief on each song:

Santa Rosa
My college composition class brought this into being.  I could never decide a
title until a trip to Santa Rosa Beach with my then fiancée, Dawn.

With You in Mind
This piece by Acoustic Alchemy is a beautiful ballad.  Listen for the fretless
bass on the bridge.

Misty Nights
Several sleepless nights resulted in my writing this aptly titled song.

Mindanao
This song by Cal Tjader has always been a favorite of mine as it's so much fun
to play.  Bass players will appreciate the tumbao pattern.

On College Hill
College Hill, my grandparents' home, is a place I used to visit frequently as a
child.  This tune simply reminds me of those good times.

Kathy
A beautiful 5/4 Bossa Nova by Maocir Santos that I have always loved.  I
couldn't resist including it here.

Sway
A long-time vocal standard that needed a good instrumental representation.

Rolling Hills
This is my very first composition.  It was inspired by a riff from a former
guitar teacher, Sherrill Kendall.

Oceans Apart
Another Acoustic Alchemy tune with a beautiful melody.  I like the contrast  
between steel and nylon string guitar.

Wave
Antonio Carlos Jobim brought us this haunting Bossa Nova and it just seemed
appropriate for this record.
