"Always" - new recording DONE!





As promised my new recording was complete for the Valentine's concert in Sugarcreek, Ohio. It really was hot off the press as the first time I heard it was just a few minutes before my concert. The concert was great and so glad the snow held off until it was over. Nina and I stayed for an extra day to celebrate Valentine's Day just hanging out at the hotel. We had dinner with my parents and Nina's mom and then they headed back to Columbus and we had a quiet evening listening to a college student play the viola and piano and spent time in the hot tub at the hotel. It was amazing. Haven't relaxed like that for a long time....On Monday we visited some Amish stores and then began to head back to Columbus at about 3 in the afternoon. Well the snow had begun and instead of it taking us 2 hours to get home it took 5! We traveled at around 25 - 35 mph so it was a slow ride but we took country roads home....it was actually very beautiful! The pictures above tell the story. We're back to work now but just for a little while as we will be going to Fla. to see Nina's granddaughter for her 9th birthday on the 24th! Looking forward to getting out of the cold for awhile!

A Romatic Evening Piano Concert in Sugarcreek!

Well my new CD is done "Always" and will be available for the very first time at a concert in Sugarcreek on Saturday, February 13 and of course it will be available on my website very soon! Then I'm taking a much needed break and spending more time with the people I care so much about. Producing a CD is much like the birth of a baby and it takes that long! But it's done now and I am so relieved....it's time for some rest and relaxation. Then I'm going to fix things around the house and re-organize stuff. Things get kind of out of control when you are working on a huge project. Then I want to plan a visit to see Christa. Can't believe she's already almost half way through college...
