I actually released this CD in December, but this is the first time it has been available online. If you click that link, you'll find a photo and description of the CD, as well as an extended preview of each track. I think you'll find that this project is more professionally done than my first CD, Fresh Hymns.

You can also see all of my CDs (all two of them) by clicking the link below.

Meditation, from Thais

Hello again, piano fans! I'd like to add some classic works and folk tunes to the mix, starting today with the famous violin classic, the Meditiation, from Thais, by Jules Massenet (1842-1912.) Of course, it's my own arrangement and interpretation, meaning that it's a piano rendition. If I were playing the violin, you'd be running for the hills.

St. Patrick's day is coming up, so be on the lookout for Londonberry Air, more commonly known as Danny Boy.
