Promises was release for digital distribution on October 7, 2023. Having a former church organist & pianist I wrote this one for a very close, personal friend at the time of their wedding. There are PDF’s and lyrics available for this one but I have decided not to include them here. If interested please contact me. MJ
This song was designed to lift you to places that are impossible to reach by car, train or bus. Places that exist only in the mind…places mistic, spiritual and lovely. Dreaming was released as a single on July 3, 2023. It is quite long [05:01} but well worth the wait. There is a video available.
South of the Border was made entirely in my home music studio. It features horns and piano with a very destinctive rhythm and a nice supprise ending. I have tried to give the piece a little flavor of old Mexico with a bit of extra flare on the trumpet. Hope you enjoy and please leave a comment or review on my contacts page. Thanks! MJ
Song for Edwin is a bit of a whimsical piece regarding a little boy and his — shall we say misadventures. Edwin is actually my grandson in real life who will always carry a little piece of my heart. To bad he has a few of his grandfathers bad habits. Pictures in the cover is his maternal great grandmother.
Out of Darkness is a testiment to the people of Ukraine. My purpose in writing this song was to bring attention to the horrific attrocities the people of Ukraine are sufferiing even now as I write this. Although released in March of 2022 it is necessary that we all see what is happening now and do what we can to support them. Pray for Ukraine and help their cause in any way that you can.
As a former church organist, I created just a little hint of something beyond our grasp. Something that we already have inside our hearts that is trying desperately to get out. The piece is filled with highs and lows and is quite passionate. I hope you find it comforting and peaceful. MJ
