After spending most of my life in San Francisco, performing since the
age of 6, studying Big Band, Jazz, and Rock & Rool, we picked up
stakes and relocated to Kauai, Hawaii. Barbra, Alexis and I had 10
wonderfull years exploring the Hawaiian culture and tropical beauty. In
1998 we returned the mainland to visit family in Plymouth, MI and
decided to make it home. A few days after landing in the Detroit area,
I spoke to Steve Allen of Steve and Rocky's and sat down at the piano
for a few nights "to see how it goes..." Six years later it is still my
musical home. Through the years, many patrons have become fans and
requested recordings. To them, I dedicate this collection. This is just
a small compilation of some tunes that are requested by many. My
notations are simple, fond remembrances. With time and space not
permitting all of your requests, please keep coming back to dine and
listen to good fare, and I will continue to record. "Always" will be
always be for young lovers and Les was one a long time ago; "Some-where
in Time" is dedicated to all you Michiganders and to romantic nights on
Mackinac Island; "Wind Beneath My Wings" to the Mansfields; "Somewhere
My Love" to Sidney and Harriot Hiller; "These Foolish Things" to our
favorite dinner companions, Barry and Shirley Wood; "It had to Be you"
to Hough, of course; "Danny Boy" to the Caseys; "Even Now" to Much and
Barry; "Beyond the Sea" to the Stanleys; "Moon River" to Sabina;
"Unchained Melody" to Bill and Madeline Short "when in doubt order the
perch..."; "Young at Heart" to Pat and her friends and family; "Rainbow
Connection" to Liz; and "Niagara" to my delight, Barbara.
