Album Notes

I am an Independent Artist, Composer of Polka, Waltz, Pop and Christian Music. My main instrument is the trumpet. I also play accordion and, less seriously, keyboard, guitar and bass guitar.

My Mission is to provide an interesting library of happy polkas and graceful waltzes in the celebration of the genre for our generation and future generations to share.

This CD features WALTZES FOR EASY DANCING and is especially designed as a GIFT CD for folks who may remember these old songs but can't find them anywhere else. Also included is a song that I wrote, called "PRINCESS WALTZ", which is dedicated to my lovely wife.
