This song was written when I found out that my wife and I were expecting. I wanted to do some free style jazz... Just notes, and then I wanted to explode with hope, excitement and possibilities. This was my first attempt at using brass...

I love the minor key that this is in. It is an excellent example on how to transition between minor and major keys. I try to use flutes for female voices. Until I get real voices this is what we will have to work with.

This song was fun to do. It had a lot of technical difficulties. And just for the record, I am NOT a percussionist. I leave that to my daughter who was out of town at the time. So when you hear the "War Drum" just laugh at me...

This song is one of my favorites. I learned this song a few years ago when a young friend of mine asked me to play for her as she sang it to her school. It was a very scary thing for me. She did great and it made a great memory for both of us.
