Album Notes

Now the early rain beats on my windows
Sweet the sound rain can make
Nice to lie here, softly sigh here
You and I here, waiting for the VERY EARLY sun to wake


Two musicians whose ideas meld gracefully, who share a common yearning for the suspended moment of sound and space.

Important Notice: The current pressing of this CD includes an advertisement for the ship I was touring on. It's a snappy midi version of 'If You Could See Me Now...out on a funship cruise' with a voice over by Johnny, my great friend from the calypso band. Do not buy this CD if you don't want to be getting subliminal messages to take a cruise to the Caribbean!
