subtly allied to jazz and rock, occasionally meditative but more often exuberant."

"I live in search of musical
themes which will stick in people's minds, available for enjoyable
recall minutes, hours, days, even years after the piece is first heard.
Nothing gratifies me more than overhearing someone casually hum or
sing something I've written, with the thought that my idea will be
remembered pleasurably by that person for a long time. To me, this
is the essence of musical communication."

"Deeply interested
in science, and astronomy in particular, I often give my pieces titles
such as StarSongs, Guide to the Winter Sky, and Alpha
Centuri in the hope that others will share my sense of connection to
distant planets, stars, galaxies, and the universe - a connection that
is an ongoing spiritual experience for me, one of awe and wonder."
