    Press Reviews
    "Sensual, warm. Evocative of fingers trailing search patterns of delight over naked sun-warmed sky." -Mitchell Mendys, WKNH- "The music seems to open doors in your mind. Very thoughtful music...Nicely done!" -Mike Reisz, WDPS- "I think the music's great. How many New Age pianists can you hear and just go numb?? I listened a few times and it sounded fresh each time." -Carol Wright, New Age music reviewer- "I can hear the difference in this artist's style from the garden variety New Age music being pushed on audiences today." -Russ Elliot, Musical Discoveries- "Is he classically-trained? He has that ear for dynamics and tempo variation....Instropective, George Winston-ish tinkle and melody hooks..." -Stacy Mein, New Age music reviewer- "They all reach deep and are very beautiful. He has done some wonderful work..." -Richard Mauro, Sacred World Music Syndicated
