Visionary and entertaining open your heart and go on a journey

A Trip to Gibraltar CD has something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue. "Merry Go Round" and "Diana" were composed in the 60s when I was writing for a group on the east coast but have sat on the shelf until now. "Little Girl Blue" is borrowed from Richard Rodgers and is a song the deeply touches me every time I perform it. "A trip to Gibraltar" came to me one afternoon after a serious medical procedure and I grabbed my pen and wrote it. If you listen closely it has some deep implications even though light hearted in presentation. "Saturday it Rained" is a love song about a person waiting for a bus in the rain. It finally comes. He or she gets on board and down the aisle sees the person of their dreams. "Gypsyboy" and "That Old Familiar Hat" are gypsy jazz songs, the latter with a lyric about that girl with a hat. "Songe de Nuit" – is a piece I dreamed one night so I got up and wrote it. "I Know who to Call" and "The Preachers Reward" are spiritual songs regarding the times we live in. "Love Comes in the Door" describes the satisfaction of love that is fulfilled. "You are Always There" is the description of a vivid dream I had one night. My wife Mary helps me on all projects for which I give her many thanks. My daughters Esther and Gloriana are the background singers on several songs. I dedicate this CD to the memory of Martin Baum who worked with me several years early on and has recently departed.
