Wow, thanks for the link to your work. Phenomenal arrangement of "Dust in the Wind", very fresh. In fact, you're making each of these songs yours. Astoundingly rich-bodied voice, such feel, such soul. I'm compelled to see you live and buy a CD. Nice production values. I dig your pianist's chops, too. Yeah, this is what I call great.

Another favorite of mine. I did a instrumental arrangement on my reverbnation/Robert Scully page. My version is a haunting and done freestyle (I played the piano then tried to follow with the strings with no click track used). Anyway you do this song its always a pleasure to perform. Super job on the vocal. As promised I listened and rated and commented on all your songs and enjoyed the experience. Take care.
