A story about an ex, who is invited to the wedding because there is still an everlasting friendship. It`s an upbeat song because the ex is happy for her friend`s good fortune... or maybe she`s just glad she`s not the one marrying him after all. She meets a very interesting person at the wedding, so this happy song also has a very happy ending. Listen for the `wedding march` at the end played on guitar.

A dreamy song to follow "Her Boyfriend`s Wedding", telling what might have happened next. A combination of acoustic and electric guitars with sax sets the mood. This year, the fan club was invited to submit song titles for the new CD. The word `dream` appeared in so many submissions that we decided on "Dream Date". We credit our fans for their constant source of inspiration and for dreams come true.

Written and recorded during the Year Of The Cat to loosely follow the story line of the CD. El Gato (the cat) is a passionate song featuring piano, sax, classical Spanish nylon string guitar, acoustic steel string guitar, and finally rockin` electric guitar accented with Latin-inspired percussion and horns.

Inspired by an old, fat-bodied guitar from the `50s, a vintage Hammond B3 organ with original Leslie rotary speakers, and things that happen between midnight and noon and back again. Envision a nostalgic trip in time where you see those cute little bobby socks with saddle shoes, classic automobiles, and the rounded fenders of Harley-Davidson motorcycles lined up along the curb in front of a diner.

Day and night, a true love is always with you. Many thanks to April Hendrix for the mysterious and soulful vocals. Her vibe (and just the name Hendrix) inspired the way much of the guitar was played on this song. Acoustic guitar flipped sonically and played backwards in the studio, Spanish guitar, electric funk guitar, plus lush keyboards and sax weave a story of how different musical styles and opposites always attract.

Sometimes after a performance in a small intimate jazz club - after midnight, after the doors are locked, with only a few people left in the room - the band members join together on a dimly-lit stage for an impromtu jam, just for fun. These songs are rarely recorded, but an experience just that gave birth to the idea and production style of this tune.

(Day Of The Fox) Inspired by the mythical Latin hero personified in stories and films as the adventurous Zorro. This is the first song on any of my solo albums played entirely on electric guitars.

Several distinctive guitars and other instruments are used here to express the different personalities of girls on a night out together. As the `night` continues, the guitars (like the girls) get a bit more uninhibited.

There is a balancing point between day and night when both are the same length. There is a similar point from midnight to noon and back again when the day gives way to the night in a fluorescent embrace, as the first stars come one by one in a fuzzy velvet sky... and then again at dawn during the hour of the planets.

Like a stranger in a strange land, one acoustic guitar encounters many different electric guitars as it ventures into the big city.
