My wife suggested for me to do this album many years ago.
I finally wrote 12 completely new original piano compositions … added 2 remixed songs and re-recorded 2 of my favorite songs.
- “Good Morning” is inspired by best friend & breakfast buddy … my wife, Kris.
- “Tangoed Up” is a tango that is part of my heritage.
- “Stephanie’s Waltz” was created for our daughter who was having surgery when she was a year old.
- “Ellie” is dedicated to our grandmother.
- “What A Beautiful Day” was inspired by all the wonderful days that the Lord has given us.
- “Bopping Around” was inspired by my three early mentors: Bill DelGovenatore, Tom Lawton and Ernie Hopkins.
- “It’s Five O’Clock” is written in 5/4. It was inspired by all the times I got to go home to my family after a hard day’s work.
- “On Hold” is written for all the times we are put on hold.
- “Kristina” is dedicated to my wife.
- “I Love Being With You” is dedicated to my wife and best friend Kris.
- “Dad’s Mustang” is dedicated to the memory of my father.
- “Cardinal Drive” was inspired by the visits we had with my n-laws after our son was born.
- “Why” was inspired by a personal tragedy that happed many years ago.
- “Stephie’s Song” is dedicated to our daughter.
- “Passyunk Ave” was inspired by my childhood memories growing up in South Philly.
- “Finally” is the last composition that I wrote to complete this projects after 14 months in the making.
- “Kristina” and “Stephanie’s Waltz” have been remixed from previous released CD’s. “Ellie” and “Stephie’s Song” were rerecorded for this project.
This album is dedicated to my wife and best friend Kristina.
