A wonderful blend of smooth jazz, funk, dance and world music centralized through the piano, acoustic guitar and the occasional synth lead..
ALL of the compositions you hear here start with one simple truth - without God, I could do nothing but because of HIM, all this is possible! Each and every effort is a serenade to Him, as I owe Him every song. Over the years, I've learned new things about song composition and have always been willing to push the boundaries of sound. I was trained as a musician and recording engineer as a child, learning to put together melodies when I was only 7 years old. This was at the height of jazz fusion where lead instrumental improvisation was king. Although I was trained early on to read and write sheet music, this improvisation has shaped my writing. Now, I write from my heart. The songs represented here are the culmination of my ventures. Each new song is a lesson in itself as I am a never ending student of music, sound and the new and emerging recording processes. As you listen, keep in mind these are my intimate conversations with God. My conversations are sometimes upbeat, sometimes somber, but never boring. In all, I share these songs so that you may enjoy the music.

Story behind the song
Had a lot of fun making this song and trying new things. Thought of the title when I realized that sometimes my music changes so much (and I wonder if anyone notices???).

I'm listening...and I like! Another delightfully funky track with the rhythm and bass I so love, along with some delicious synth. Marvelous!

Arlen.. you are the groove-master! This one goes to my station. An intro to die for, Very good melodic theme executed with very cool synth. Suprisingly and spicy elements all the way to the end.

Another unique, creative endeavor. Has a nice funky feel to it, and as you stated in your description, folksy. I especially love the panning synth section at 2:20 and all the funky leads throughout. Crisp, clear mix... Nice work yet again...
